Summary

Major speaks with Megan Garber of The Atlantic, whose new book, “Screen People: How We Entertained Ourselves into a State of Emergency”, discusses her take on internet culture and how people are seen more as characters than given grace as being human. She also provides some solutions about how we should perceive the algorithm and taking back agency from technology.
