Eaten by the Internet - FUTURES Podcast Live

SPACE4, in collaboration with Housmans Bookshop and the FUTURES Podcast, have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Corinne Cath and Dr. Fieke Jansen, who will delve into the politics of internet infrastructure, the central theme of their latest book, "Eaten by the Internet."

Eaten by the Internet makes internet infrastructure visible as a force of political power, transforming the social world from the bottom up. It is made up of fifteen chapters, contributed by a global set of researchers, activists, and techies.

Dr. Cath, the editor of "Eaten by the Internet," is a cultural anthropologist specializing in the politics of internet infrastructure and cloud computing. Her current focus is on the adequacy of existing EU technology policy efforts that touch on cloud computing.

Dr. Jansen is one of the contributors to the book. She is a tech skeptic, researcher, educator and advocate on the impact of technology on society. Her research interest is to understand how the material impact of expending infrastructures is shaping the management, distribution, and depletion of natural resources.

Dr. Cath and Dr. Jansen will be in conversation with Luke Robert Mason who hosts the FUTURES Podcast - a show that explores the topics of artificial intelligence, human enhancement, space travel and virtual reality. Mason is a British-born futures theorist who is passionate about engaging the public with emerging scientific theories and technological developments.
