EP 38: UNIVERSAL BASIC PLANETARY SERVICES (Benjamin Bratton)

Theorist BENJAMIN BRATTON joins NM to discuss his newest book, The Revenge of the Real: Politics for a Post-Pandemic World (Verso, 2021), which reflects on human society’s capacity for sensing and calibrating to the the vicissitudes of an increasingly turbulent Earth—and innovatively governing in turn. In this first segment of a two-episode release (Pt. 2 forthcoming for NM subscribers), Bratton talks individualism, globalism, planned economies, desire paths, clouds, and nation states. https://www.versobooks.com/books/3787-the-revenge-of-the-real For more: http://www.bratton.info/ https://www.instagram.com/benjaminbratton https://www.twitter.com/bratton https://soundcloud.com/newmodels/episode-15-remote-port-benjamin-bratton-busta-keller-lilinternet
