GRADES 11-12

Who gets to shape the future – and what happens when young people challenge those already in charge? In Soman Chainani’s Young World, a 17-year-old’s improbable election as president launches a political thriller. Theo Baker’s How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University examines the ambition, influence, and ethical compromises surrounding an institution closely tied to Silicon Valley. Join Chainani in conversation with Baker as fiction and investigative reporting offer different perspectives on youth and power.
