This week, I joined Kate Willett and Émile P. Torres on the Dystopia Now podcast.

We got deep into the politics of the Network State and TESCREAL – and we had a lot of fun doing it. This is some pretty dark stuff, but we can't forget to laugh. (Humor is traditionally a great weapon against authoritarianism.)
