Codes and Guerrillas. Max Hastings will talk about the espionage and intelligence machines of all sides in World War II, and the impact of spies, code•breakers and partisan operations on events. He will examine key moments, such as the Soviet espionage operations which dwarfed those of every other belligerent in scale, as well as the code breaking operation at Bletchley Park — the greatest intelligence achievement of the conflict. The talk will also touch on other less well known tales of high courage ashore, at sea and in the air such as womanising Richard Sorge pretending to be a committed Nazi whilst spying for the Soviet Union from the German embassy in Tokyo. and Joseph Rochefort, the awkward, overlooked US naval intelligence officer who in a moment of inspiration became the man who won the battle of Midway. For an evening full of high policy, human drama, treachery. guerrilla warfare, ciphers. clandestine meetings in cafes, and wireless operators tapping out messages across the airwaves, this is the talk to come to.

Evgeny Morozov, one of the most brilliant and respected commentators on the Internet, will discuss one of the most important issues today: namely. how technology companies promise us a seemingly genuine path towards social mobility. Thus, they are more than happy to provide the public with free services in exchange for our data. Initially those services were limited to communication and search online but today they increasingly include services that promise better healthcare (think wearables). better education (think MOOCs). better transportation (think Uber) and even better and free connectivity for all (think Intemet.org). But what are the moral, political, and social consequences of accepting this free bargain? And why are our governments so eager to go along with Silicon Valley's plans?
