Everything in our age is accelerating. Digitisation is increasing globalisation tenfold; social networks have gone mobile: telephone, television and towns themselves have gone “smart”. From Silicon Valley to Tokyo, from Brazil to Washington, from South Africa to Southern India, and all the way to Cuba and Gaza, F5édéric Martel’s book “SMART: Ces Internets qui nous rendent intelligents” offers an unprecedented investigation in the field, covering the internet battle and its future. In this event, he presented a cartography of the Internet and argued that people involved in the web are, in fact, as adaptable as the Internet.

The event was organized in partnership with Brazil’s French Institute.
