Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales is coming to Brisbane in May!Today’s internet feels like the information equivalent of the Mariana Trench: vast, ominous and full of unknown life forms. But one website that still embodies the optimism and community of the early digital age is Wikipedia, the volunteer-run encyclopedia that’s still, after twenty-five years, refreshingly free of billionaire tech-bro overlords.
For the site’s founder, Jimmy Wales, the site's success is largely due to the increasingly precious resource of trust.
Join Wales in conversation with Griffith Review's Carody Culver as they discuss his galvanising new book, The Seven Rules of Trust, which reveals how Wikipedia evolved from scrappy online experiment to dependable global utility — and how all of us can learn to cultivate and restore trust.
