Editing Success: Social Hacking & Deadly Ransomware

On this week’s episode of The Reflexive City we have an interview with Charles Landry, the founder of the Creative Bureaucracy Festival, an international ideas convention for urban planners, policymakers and innovators. We ask whether boosting tourism revenue is as simple as editing a Wikipedia page and we take a look at what happens when ransomware turns deadly.
