Published: June 26, 2021, 11:05 p.m.

b'We discuss the first half of Chapter 5 of Autonomous Technology: \\u201cArtifice and Order.\\u201d This is a really juicy chapter where Winner is really laying out fundamentals for his own theory of technological politics by asking the question of not just \\u201cWho governs?\\u201d but also \\u201cWhat governs?\\u201d So while we set out to get through the whole thing in one episode, to do the discussion and rumination of this analysis the justice it deserves, we decided to break it up into two episodes. We\\u2019re doing anti-efficiency praxis here by not giving into the temptations of speed \\u2013 sometimes you should take it slow. In this half we lay out a series of key concepts for how to understand the immense accumulation of large-scale, complex, interconnected, and interdependent systems that define the conditions of modern society and life. The second half of Chapter 5 will be released on the premium feed next week!
