MICHAEL BYERS | PLASTICS. POLITICS. TWITTER. AND OTHER HARD PROBLEMS FOR MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
October 26, 2023 Michael Byers
We’re loving this next issue of MIT Technology Review for the cover art & interiors illustrated by #lcmartist Michael Byers but unfortunately not for the subject. This art was for “The Hard Problems Issue” titled “Plastics, Politics. Twitter. And Other Hard Problems” focused on plastics. Climate change anyone? It talks about “The intractable problem of plastics. Fixing the internet. Exploring what it would it take for AI to become conscious. Plus: there are so many urgent issues facing the world—where do we begin?” Did you know that “Plastic is cheap to make and shockingly profitable. It’s everywhere. And we’re all paying the price.”
