NANOGRAMS
Brief Messages from the Very Near Future
Technology is changing fast – disrupting institutions, reshaping the economy, and transforming the environment along with it. But this explosive growth isn’t just changing our world. It’s changing us. How we think of ourselves. How we relate to one other. How we imagine our future. Nanograms is a weekly dispatch from the front lines of technoculture, where weird and surprising things are happening at the intersection of human and machine, of science and the arts, of technology and… everything else. It’s an exploration of big ideas and complex problems, served up in bite-size chunks for those of us who are already living with one foot in the future, but still figuring out what that means. Host/producer Josh Raulerson draws on an eclectic range of cultural sources and intellectual traditions – from social theory to science fiction, from music to medicine – to illuminate some of the less-examined nooks and crannies of technological modernity.Subscribe on iTunes or at nanograms.org.
