They were going to discuss Schmidt and Cohen’s new book, “The New Digital Age,” which assesses the ways in which technology has transformed society and international relations. The event was free and open to the public and was supported by Princeton Public Lectures’ Vanuxem Fund.
Schmidt graduated from Princeton with a degree in electrical engineering andserved as CEO of Google from 2001 to 2011 before becoming executive chairman. “The New Digital Age,” which was released in 2013 and became a New York Times best seller, will be reissued in paperback with a new afterword on March 4.
