THE BOOKSMITH PRESENTS: VERONICA CHATER ON WAITING FOR THE APOCALYPSE Inspired by Veronica Chater's memoir "Waiting for the Apocalypse," we gathered some friends to tell us about their own personal journeys of self discovery. In our small-scale exploration of coming-of-age stories, we found some unexpected intersections -- reminders that although our details are different, we may all be more similar than we realize. We'll be screening clips from our interview series at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA) this Friday (February 27) in conjunction with Veronica's reading. Here's a preview:
A CONVERSATION WITH BOOKSMITH featuring Lawrence Lessig In January 2009, Lawrence Lessig did his final reading for his book REMIX: MAKING ART AND COMMERCE THRIVE IN THE HYBRID ECONOMY at The Booksmith on Haight Street in San Francisco. But on his way to the event, he stopped by the house of Booksmith owner Praveen Madan to talk about the entertainment industry's war on America's kids, freedom of speech, copyright, creativity, and corruption. Get a quick taste of what they discussed: Watch the full conversation in three parts on YouTube: Lawrence Lessig Talks with The Booksmith, Part 1 Lawrence Lessig Talks with The Booksmith, Part 2 Lawrence Lessig Talks with The Booksmith, Part 3
