About: LongtimeĀ New YorkerĀ writer Adam Gopnik investigates a foundational human question: How do we learn—and master—a new skill? In his newest book,Ā The Real Work,Ā Gopnik apprenticed as an artist, a dancer, a boxer, and even a driving instructor to understand the process of mastering new skills, how it happens, and if anyone can do it. Join ChicagoĀ HumanitiesĀ as we sit down with this brilliant writer and Gloria Gloom, for a conversation that seeks to answer the ultimate question about why and how we humans relentlessly seek to better ourselves.Ā A book signing will follow this program. This annual lecture recognizes the significant contributions to the ChicagoĀ HumanitiesĀ made by its founder and chairman emeritus Richard J. Franke. This program is also generously underwritten by Paula R. Kahn.

About:Ā 
In his new bookĀ Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything, Kaku attests that this technological breakthrough could allow humanity to do everything from create nuclear fusion reactors that create clean, renewable energy without radioactive waste or threats of a meltdown to unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of previously incurable diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. Join ChicagoĀ HumanitiesĀ as we sit down with this renowned scientist as he simplifies this important yet complicated topic in a way only Michio Kaku can. A book signing will follow this program.
