Manufacturing Dissent Since 1996
New interviews throughout the week
Gdiad fwqaa l9z

When we have such a romantic and idealistic view of technology, and assume that that's the only thing standing between us and a better future, we're essentially surrendering the powers of our imagination, our own commitment to justice and struggle to the potential and non-existent goodwill of a set of elites who have their own designs on what they want us to be doing with their products and the influence that they want them to have within the broader world.

Omar Zahzah joins us to discuss his new book, Terms of Servitude: Zionism, Silicon Valley, and Digital/Settler-Colonialism in the Palestinian Liberation Struggle (Seven Stories Press). "This Day in Rotten History" from Renaldo Migaldi follows the interview.
