Democracy Disrupted

Erik Martin

Democracy was plenty messy without bots, trolls, and cryptokitties unleashed upon it, but now that the Internet and our politics are irrevocably entwined, what shall we do? How do we need to re-think our beliefs about government, technology, corporate power, media, human nature, and that time the denizens of the internet pledged $55,000 to a Kickstarter for a guy to make Potato Salad? (???!). This is a show about all those things - every week we have an expert, they enlighten us (probably maybe), and you feel better (iffy). As Steve Wozniak once said "If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into committees. That'll do them in."
