Their talk explores themes of dystopia and utopia, and how what may seem like paradise to one person could be a nightmare to another. By examining different opinions and perspectives, they demonstrate how our environment can significantly influence our viewpoint. Dystopia and utopia are not merely stories or fantasies; they are lenses through which we understand ourselves, our hopes, and our fears. By thinking critically about these visions, they suggest we can make better choices about the future we wish to create. Arya is a student studying in China, who has grown up surrounded by rapid technological development. This sparked her interest in the role of how the environment impacts the beliefs and opinions we have.
