This article is part of the Forum Network series on Digitalisation

The Meet the Author events at the OECD Forum offer a unique opportunity to go deeper into the challenges our societies are facing today and to explore what brings us together. These sessions are designed for exchanging new ideas and for encountering creative new voices and views.

We are drowning in data and deadlines and absorbing so much information while trying to maintain a healthy work-life balance, is taking its toll.  

Join Julia Hobsbawm, OBE, author of Fully Connected: Surviving and Thriving in an Age of Overload and expert on networks, social health and connectivity, and Jeremy West, Senior Policy Analyst, Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation, OECD, to discuss social health and why we need a new blueprint for modern connectedness.

Each year we identify authors and books at the heart of OECD Forum agenda, addressing issues and dimensions that complement the OECD’s own analysis. As we begin preparations for OECD Forum 2019, we want to know what you've been reading!

Join the Forum Network and post your recommendations for recently published or upcoming books on our modern digital lives in the comments below to help us co-create next year's Meet the Author sessions!
