Author Talk: Christopher Bishop - Improvising Careers: Succeed at Jobs that Don't Exist Yet

Nanopharmacist? Lunar tour guide? Robotic ethics consultant? Augmented reality content designer? Quantum algorithm programmer? These jobs may not sound familiar now, but they will in the near future.

Join us at the Ridgefield Library on Wednesday, January 14th at 6:30 pm for a fascinating Author Talk with long-time Wilton resident Christopher Bishop, discussing his latest book, Improvising Careers: Succeed at Jobs That Don't Exist Yet.  Please register.

Burnished in the crucible rather than disconnected academic research, the book is based on Christopher Bishop’s successful navigation of eight different careers, from touring rock musician to fifteen years at IBM to quantum podcast host!  

Improvising Careers provides readers with tools to both shape and take advantage of the coming technological innovations. People can prepare for the kinds of work they might be doing as they move into the middle of the twenty-first century by leveraging the insight and socio-historical perspective in Bishop’s pragmatic guidebook.

Books on the Common will have copies available for purchase and signing.
