Techtopia 333 (ENGLISH version) with Paris Marx.mp3

TechTopia

“Tech Won’t Save Us” is an immensely popular podcast among people who have a critical view of the American tech industry. The podcast is a one-person show hosted by Canadian Paris Marx, who, within a few years, has become a hero among technology critics.

In the spring of 2024, Paris Marx visited Copenhagen and gave several lectures and interviews, and they also paid a visit to the renowned Danish podcast Techtopia whose host and editor Henrik Fohns has been covering tech and Silicon Valley for more than three decades.

Paris Marx is also author of the book “Road to Nowhere” about Silicon Valley’s ideas about driverless cars. Henrik Fohns is the author of the book “The Global Pulse” focused on exponential tech and the idea of the singularity.

They have a conversation about self-driving cars as a utopia, the tech industry’s attempts to make us dependent on its business models – and Henrik Fohns’ quietly questions whether Paris Marx exaggerate their criticism?
