We’re joined by Tamara Kneese — author of Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond — to discuss her work on how experiences of death and dying shape the internet, the afterlife promised by digital resurrection, the strange quest to solve death, the transhumanist urge to escape death, and the entropic decay of digital infrastructure. ••• Follow Tamara | https://twitter.com/tamigraph ••• Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300248272/death-glitch/ ••• Memento Mori https://thebaffler.com/outbursts/memento-mori-kneese ••• Measuring Justice: Field Notes on Algorithmic Impact Assessments https://medium.com/datasociety-points/measuring-justice-field-notes-on-algorithmic-impact-assessments-c6cfeccc668d Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).
