b'We discuss Chapter 7 of Autonomous Technology: \\u201cComplexity and the Loss of Agency.\\u201d Ed couldn\\u2019t be here for this episode, so we\\u2019re joined again by David Banks, who really stepped up to provide some great insights into understanding our socio-political relationship to complex technical systems designed to keep us in the dark about how and why the things we rely on actually work\\u2014and who they work for. We explore the dialectic between increasing complexity and diminishing agency, the poverty to cultural criticism vs. political analysis, and why technologies are not enchanted objects that grant us magical powers.
