Like a self-driving Uber at a busy crosswalk, technological innovation keeps hurtling boldly ahead.
Whether you’re choking down a mug of Keurig between back-to-back Zoom calls, granting GPS permission to the iPhone app that flashes your vape pen’s firmware, or just silently praying for the haywire inventory bot at the supermarket to come out of Sentinel Mode so you can scramble to safety, Technology Blows is the audio tour guide for your information-age malaise.
Tech, in the grip of Peters and Marks and Elons, is shamefully wasteful, radically exploitive, and corrosive to the soul. But it’s also very silly. Cook out the silly and inject it into your veins with Technology Blows.
