If Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, cryptocurrency, and AI are already giving you the willies, you might want to give Beta a pass. But can you resist the pitch? “A tech pioneer celebrated as a genius promotes his visionary projects to revolutionise the livelihood of people worldwide. A hacker warns against the accumulation of power by a few global corporations and researches artificial intelligence. A politician pushes the digitalisation of state institutions and is confronted with the challenges of disinformation, data and consumer protection.” But here’s the good news: “Interactive tools encourage the audience to adopt a stance on the issues raised and influence the course of the performance.” If only we had such powers in real life. —Matthew Gurewitsch
