Walter Isaacson
in Conversation with Vanity Fair’s Radhika Jones
Presented by PAC NYC in partnership with CAA and Vanity Fair
Join this special conversation series, programmed in partnership with CAA and Vanity Fair, where you’ll hear from award-winning authors, bestselling storytellers, and cultural changemakers from the worlds of art, entertainment, media, and politics.
Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve Jobs, shares the astonishingly intimate story of the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our time—a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.
For two years, Isaacson shadowed Elon Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him, and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers, and adversaries. Now he shares the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
