The speakers explore the difference between being a digital native and a digital tourist and how it influences one's relationship with technology. They discuss the speaker's daughter's rejection of the digital world and her preference for physical media. The chapter ends with a reflection on the implications of technology and the rise of techno feudalism.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Nihal Arthanayake is joined by the former Finance Minister of Greece and co-founder of the international grassroots movement DM25 as well as a Professor of economics at the University of Athens, Yanis Varoufakis. His latest book, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, explores how the owners of big tech have become the world's feudal overlords.
In this episode, Nihal and Yanis discuss the impact living through the digital age has on our lives, how commodities have more freedom of movement than people, and the objects that inspired the theories explored in his book.
