Summary
A few months ago, as part of the research for his forthcoming book What Tech Calls Governing , Adrian took a drive down Highway 101 from San Francisco to Palo Alto and back. This episode is about what the billboards along that stretch of highway tell us about Silicon Valley, about our tech elites, and about how technology is remaking society (it's not in the way you think). If you'd like to buy Adrian's book, it's available for pre-order in the German edition only for now. If you'd like to check out the work of Wendy Liu, whose column that Adrian and Moira refer to in the episode (and who did the drive with Adrian), you can find that here and here .
