Description:

In Episode 28 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas lays out his vision for a possible future driven by the emergent forces we have been covering on the show. He reads passages from Ted Kaczynski’s “Industrial Society and its Future,” as well as from Bill Joy’s “Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us.” He plays clips from interviews with Barack Obama, Tim Cook, and Jamie Dimon, as he considers how power, privacy, and control, all factor into this emerging technological landscape.  

What is the goal we seek to attain with our technologies? What are the benefits of allowing the technological, political, and economic forces of the modern age continue unabated, and what are the costs?
