Episode 4. Dr. Alina Utrata: Critical Tech Studies.

Join us for an illuminating conversation with Dr. Alina Utrata, Research Fellow at Oxford University and a leading voice in critical tech studies. From the historical parallels of the East India Company to the modern empires of SpaceX and Amazon, Dr. Utrata unpacks the politics of AI, the sci-fi fantasies shaping Silicon Valley’s ethos, and the radical potential of "de-computing." This episode offers a sharp, critical lens on today’s tech paradigms—an unmissable discussion for anyone curious about the forces driving our digital world. How might rethinking technology’s role challenge our assumptions about progress?
