Machine Readable is a short audio series exploring the intersection of technology, culture, and what it means to be human in the so-called “intelligence age”.
Every episode is based around a specific book (or books) that have helped our host develop her mental models about the relationship between technology and society. Together with an invited guest, each discussion examines ideas in and around the chosen books, connecting them with everyday realities, and projecting them into the near future.
Read the book alongside the episode, or tune in for the standalone conversation. Either way, we’re pleased to have you along for the ride.
Release Schedule
New episodes are released once a month.
