The Conversation: Carole Cadwalladr
Monday 09 March 2026
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
How to Survive the Broligarchy
The multi-award-winning investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr talks us through the tech and the connections and the cascades of money that are restructuring global power and democracy on our watch.
Cadwalladr worked for the Guardian/Observer for 20 years, latterly investigating the intersection of politics and technology that included 2018’s exposé of the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal.
Cadwalladr now analyses the opaque and unaccountable Silicon Valley companies that are accelerating the global axis of autocracy in the How to Survive The Broligarchy Substack and for the news website The Nerve, which she co-founded in 2025.
Chaired by Peter Florence.
The interview lasts for an hour followed by a 30-minute public Q&A, then book-signing and informal conversation. It is also being live-streamed. For livestream tickets, visit here.
