retroTECH’s Long Now Lecture Series is part of our charge to create the future by exploring and preserving our technological pasts. Each month we’ll dip into the archive at longnow.org and find a talk that connects with retroTECH’s research concern -- how our lives shape technology, and are shaped by it, over time – and follow that with an open discussion guided by a Georgia Tech librarian, archivist, or faculty member.

This month's video is “The Library That Lasts” by author Hugh Howey. Delivered in 2015, this talk engages the questions of how will texts survive deep time, and what does the library of tomorrow look like?

The conversation will be facilitated by the Digital Learning and Instruction Librarian, Justin Ellis.
