Two years ago, Logic launched its first issue at City Lights. We're grateful for all the support we've received so far, and we're looking forward to continuing to build a better conversation about technology in 2019 and beyond.

To celebrate our second birthday, please join us for a conversation at City Lights about the state of technology writing.

How are writers telling the story of technology? And how has the way they are telling that story changed since we started Logic, as a string of revelations and scandals fosters a darker mood about the role of technology in our lives?

To discuss these questions, we’ll hear from friends of the magazine who write about technology in different genres:

• Megan Rose Dickey is a senior reporter at TechCrunch focused on diversity, inclusion and social justice. She also covers the on-demand economy, artificial intelligence and transportation.

• Alexis C. Madrigal is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of Powering the Dream: The History and Promise of Green Technology.

• Fred Turner is the author of From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism, and a professor of Communication at Stanford University, where he studies media, technology and American cultural history.

• Ellen Ullman is a computer programmer and author, most recently, of Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology.

• Julia Carrie Wong is a senior technology reporter for Guardian US, based in San Francisco.
