Stephen Fry on The Internet
Prepare for the internet of the future, or face the worst of science fiction's predictions: comedian, actor, writer and Hay Festival president Stephen Fry sets out his argument for how and why we should reform our World Wide Web, part of our 30 Reformations series.

You can watch the full hour-long event, including the Q&A with BBC Click's Spencer Kelly over on our Hay Player now: https://www.hayfestival.com/hayplayer/
We'll be releasing other reformations daily from now to the end of the year - subscribe and be the first to see them.

Users can select any state to see details about abortion policies in place, characteristics of state residents and key abortion statistics, including driving distance to the nearest abortion clinic.
