An Evening with Anna Funder

As a writer who places being human at the centre of her work, Anna Funder (Wifedom,ÌýStasiland) has explored the best and worst that humans are capable of – surveillance, fascism and the tyranny of patriarchy – and the many forms of human courage and resistance. As artificial intelligence accelerates and patriarchy takes the gloves off, the world of bots and tech bros sees humans as raw material – free data they can profit from – in the same way that men have profited from women’s work for so long. How can we resist this exploitation of our humanity?

Anna Funder’s internationally bestselling StasilandÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýAll That I Am illuminate the human condition in times of tyranny through true stories of courage, conscience and love. Stasiland won the UK’s prestigious Samuel Johnson Prize. All That I Am won the Miles Franklin and was a finalist for the International IMPAC Dublin Award and the Commonwealth Writers Prize. Wifedom: Mrs Orwell’s Invisible Life, hailed as a ‘masterpiece’ and a ‘spellbinding achievement’, was a New York Times Notable Book and awarded France’s prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger.
