What Next TBD: The Great British Library Hack

Description:

When a cyberattack knocked the British Library out of commission in October of last year, a nation's researchers, scholars, students, and bookworms were left high and dry. Months later, the library is starting to come back online in limited capacity, but the attack has laid bare just how fragile our digital systems are. 


Guest: Sam Knight, staff writer at the New Yorker
