Technology shapes our environment to meet human needs, driving civilization and progress. However, this advancement often comes at a significant cost to the environment.

Understanding anisotropy—the variation of material properties with direction—is crucial. It can guide us to more efficient and environmentally friendly technological solutions, rather than forcing our own methods.

Tim Booth, a DTU Physics professor researching 2D materials, proposes a key question: "Is there an easier and more natural direction to pull in?" This reflection, highlighted in his TEDx talk, offers a path to better, more sustainable future solutions.

Tim Wu, the scholar who coined "net neutrality," examines how big tech platforms have reshaped our economy. In his latest book, *The Age of Extraction*, Wu argues that the internet, once seen as a source of widespread wealth and democracy, has instead created new economic classes and fostered autocracy. He proposes solutions to harness technology for the greater good and build a more balanced economy.

Join Tim Wu, author of *The Age of Extraction*, and journalist Laura Sydell on November 10, 2025, to discuss reclaiming economic control. This program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund and partnered with the Center for Humane Technology.
