The Future Has Been Canceled: The Stalling of Culture and Technology in a Decaying Society
from The Regrettable Century · host Chris, Kevin, Jenny, and Jason
The slow cancellation of the future has been accompanied by a deflation of expectations, both in the realm of cultural and -- apparently -- technological production. Culture has crawled to a halt, its progress replaced by advances in methods of distribution. Technology is bogged down in a cycle of adding additional cameras to the iphone. Has capitalism outlived its progressive potential?
