Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz sit down with authors to discuss their latest works, from fiction to non-fiction, today's political analysis to ancient thought.
David Plotz talks with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales about his new book The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last. They discuss how Wikipedia’s culture of assuming good faith and shared purpose became a model for building trustworthy digital communities — and what lessons that holds for companies, social media, and politics today.
Wales reflects on how to maintain trust in polarized times, the challenges of AI-generated information, and why genuine civility still matters online.
