Netflix. The rise of the dictator. Brexit. Global refugee crisis. Cyber wars. The challenge of China. At a time of unprecedented global change, when technology is threatening the humble newsagent and ushering in the driverless car, our illustrious panel will attempt to sift through this new world disorder. Where are the strong global leaders for these treacherous times? Will Donald Trump win a second term or be impeached for past misdeeds? And will bookstores survive the onslaught of Amazon? Our power panel will debate these and other seminal issues in one of the Canberra Writers’ Festival’s most anticipated events. Moderated by Guardian Australia political editor Katharine Murphy.
