Ep 1 - Smash that Subscribe Button - How the internet created life as a subscription
Today we start our journey, trying to unpack how the hell we got here. And one of the most provocative ideas came from Julio Vincent Cambuto in his book "Please Unsubscribe Thanks" that the internet has created relationships as subscriptions. So along with this idea in hand myself and guest Paris Marx (@parismarx) for this first episode get ready to explore the profound impact of technology on our social fabric and the ways we perceive reality. As a possible subscription model. 👨💻 Paris delves deep into the world of tech, shedding light on how our urban landscapes and personal interactions are being reshaped by the hands by the technocrats that run things like Uber. 🌍 How has the internet revolutionized my personal life? Find out how my digital journey began. And what are the hidden risks lurking behind the screen? And most importantly, how does technology mold the framework of masculinity in today's world? And vice versa Join us as we unravel these questions and more with Paris Marx, the voice behind "Tech Won't Save Us" and the newsletter "Disconnect". Discover the unseen forces that shape our digital and physical worlds and embark on a journey to understand the complex relationship between Man v/s the Machine. The new season of Modern Manhood.
