A Podcast Series by Evgeny Morozov. Forget the military or Silicon Valley: we owe our smart technologies - from toothbrushes to beds - to a band of eccentric 1960s hippies. Hidden away in a secretive, privately funded lab on Boston’s waterfront, these visionaries developed intimate, personal technologies a decade before Steve Jobs. But their rebellion was fraught with obstacles: the military-indus... more

This series is truly a tour de force of research, storytelling, and reflection. It’s hard to belive how much research has gone in to this project. The story of Warren Brody sheds so much light on the history of technology in the 20th and 21st centuries and is incredibly fascinating on a biographical level as well. And Evgeny Morozov has found his tone as a narrator, more human, funnier, and even self-deprecating at times.
I got drawn into this extraordinary story, which is weird and at times surreal. And even if, at times, I didn’t know where this was going. But what a set of characters. Nowadays we might expect this level of hubris and egomania from the tech bros in Silicon Valley. But all this happened in the 1960s.
But as a bibliophile, I am dying to know to which books started this space warp adventure!
