Silicon Valley finally has its “Succession”

from ACCESS · host Vox Media

What happens when Silicon Valley becomes the subject of its own satire? Alex and Ellis sit down with The Audacity showrunner Jonathan Glatzer to talk about building a TV series that takes on Big Tech, the battle for your private data, and the power dynamics shaping Silicon Valley — and Hollywood too. They also go deep into the role of satire in critiquing power, AI's role in the writing process, and why AMC was the only network brave enough to greenlight the show.
