Technologies encode politics.
🎧 PLUS: The audio version of '"Who are you?" and a question just for you.
Hi there, and welcome back to Untangled, a newsletter and podcast about technology, people, and power. This is the audio version of my latest essay, “Who are you?” Enjoy the dulcet tones of my voice, as I struggle yet again to say ‘pseudonymity’ 🙃
Before you click ‘play,’ I’d like to share a few things:
I want to make the audio essays more interactive. So here’s the plan: if the monthly essay prompts a question for you, email me with it, and I’ll do my best to answer it in the audio essay. Fun, huh?
I want to draw your attention to a new section of Untangled. If you pop over to the homepage, you’ll find a heading that reads ‘Primer.’ I received a lot of positive feedback on the primer I developed for Untangled’s first birthday, so I’ve decided to turn it into an ongoing project. I’ll update it every few months with new themes.
One contender for a new theme? Technologies encode politics. Remember that fun lil’ drawing from “Who are you?” of me in a box contoured by ‘politics’?
