Episode notes

In your book, i feel that you use the term f k, away from keyboard. The technological existence is positioned as a central feature that then informs how one lives when they step away from the computer or the screen. A f k and i are as a no, kind of different terms? Is something actually that was originally theorized by an incredible thinker, writer, sort of techno futurist in many ways, nathan jergenson. And this is a term that pushes us to think about this idea of on versus off line.
