“It doesn't take remarkable insight to suggest that the defining idea of the coming decade will be the Internet,” says Peter Singer. The compression of time and space enabled by digital technologies is overhauling our traditional understanding of everything from community, identity, sexuality, and information accessibility. While the technology has brought huge advantages, there are still ethical questions that need to be addressed around piracy, censorship, and the place of outlets such as Wikileaks.

Once labelled the most dangerous man in the world, Singer is one of the world's leading philosophers and author of books such as 'Animal Liberation' and 'Wired for War.'
