This Machine Kills

This Machine Kills offers a sharp, critical examination of technology and its deep entanglement with political economy, challenging the prevalent narratives of innovation and capital. Hosted by Jathan Sadowski and Edward Ongweso Jr., the podcast applies a robust Marxist lens to analyze societal issues, from the environmental impacts of capitalism to the concentrated power of Silicon Valley titans like Peter Thiel. Episodes feature in-depth discussions, often with authors, delving into topics such as climate change, the machinations of new financial institutions, and the ideological underpinnings of tech billionaires. It's essential listening for those seeking a nuanced, anti-capitalist perspective on contemporary technological developments and their profound societal and political ramifications, appealing to an audience interested in critical theory, social justice, and deconstructing dominant power structures.
