Out d'Coup LIVE | Paris Marx - Creator and host of the podcast Tech Won't Save Us | December 14, 2020

<p>On this week's show I'm joined by <a href='http://parismarx.com/'>Paris Marx</a>, creator and host of the <a href='https://techwontsave.us/'>Tech Won't Save Us podcast</a>. Paris is a socialist writer whose critical perspectives on technology have been published by NBC News, Jacobin, Tribune, In These Times, OneZero, Recode, Citymetric, Salon, and more. Paris is a PhD student at the University of Auckland researching tech futures, and completed a Master’s in urban geography from McGill University. They are also writing a book about transportation and technology for Verso Books.</p> <p>The podcast Tech Won’t Save Us challenges the notion that tech alone can drive our world forward by showing that separating tech from politics has consequences for us all, especially the most vulnerable. The show isn't simply about tearing down tech. It also presents radical ideas for a better world and better technology.</p> <p>Recent shows have included </p> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;"><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/why-game-and-tech-workers-are-organizing-w-emma-kinema/id1507621076?i=1000501946399'>Emma Kinema</a> a former tech and games worker who is a Campaign Lead with the Communications Workers of America on the <a href='https://www.code-cwa.org/'>Campaign to Organize Digital Employees</a>.
