Darkly Funny, Worryingly Real : QualityLand | S03 E10
from Reading Materials Hosted by Corrie and Lucia
We wrap up Season 3 with special guest Luisa and a wild ride through Marc-Uwe Kling’s QualityLand. From rogue AIs to political satire—and yes, unexpected pink dolphin vibrators—we unpack this sharp, strange, and bitingly funny dystopia where algorithms know you better than you know yourself.
