Event overview
Discussion of a new anthology of writings based on Ira Levin's 1970 science fiction novel This Perfect Day. Jeremy V Pitt, Deputy Head of the Intelligent Systems and Networks Group, Imperial College, London
This Perfect Day aims to expose both potential innovations and controversial social issues. It explores the science and technology of pervasive adaptation through a human-centred and socio-technical perspective within the cultural, ethical and legal context of contemporary life. It discusses how pervasive adaptation could provide the foundations for a new range of life-enhancing and planet-saving applications in health, sustainability and assistive living. On the other hand, with the
recording, storage and processing of every action, emotion and thought, there also arise the possibilities for unwarranted surveillance, invasions of privacy, loss of civil liberties and commercial exploitation.
