Daedalus was a wise craftsman that created the key to his son’s freedom but warned that blind ambition would lead to his downfall. Today we find ourselves in Daedalus’ shoes as unregulated technology made by corporations, such as AI, prove to be increasingly prevalent and harmful towards the working class.
The Daedalus Forum is a socialist publication that brings a diverse community together in a fight against tech facism. Our goal is to give voice to those outside the corporate sphere like artists, illustrators, educators, social workers, musicians and consumers alike. Expressing their experiences and lessons within the era of technological feudalism in a collection of written and illustrated works to find a community based solution to our most pressing issues. The communities we belong to and forge that are worth investing in.
We will not allow the world around us to become the Icarus to our Daedalus.
Full magazine will be available print only with contributions and distributions across Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Headlines are previewable on website, however any digital distribution of magazine is prohibited
This publication and its contributors stand with the LGBTQ community, women, BIPOC, marginalized communities, people with disabilities and Palestinians. We do not promote anti-science or anti-intellectualism.
