## Resource

This is a preview of a bonus episode! Check out the rest, as well as our extensive backlog of bonus episodes, here! We’re joined by writer and journalist Sarah Jaffe, to talk about her new book , Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire. Sarah talks about the personal events that shaped the ideas for her book, and why she believes that meaningful political change must understand and cherish death and grieving rituals. She talks about why technology companies dismiss the idea of grieving rituals, viewing them as practical problems requiring AI-based solutions, and the impacts this has on human societies and their ability to imagine better futures. We also talk about the emerging economy of gambling apps and ‘predictive markets’, in particular, the way it uses death as a phenomenon to be monetised and profited from, rather than a sacred moment that tells us what it means to be human.
