Episode: No Platforming the Platforms feat. Nick Srnicek
Description: What is platform capitalism? And why is it that Amazon seems to be transitioning from online bookstore to perpetually-expanding defense contractor? This week’s episode features Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) in discussion with author and academic Nick Srnicek (@n_srnck). Nick’s previous books include “Platform Capitalism” and “Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World without Work.” He joins us to discuss a particularly non-HIPAA compliant app and his own work into the (monopolistic, bad) platforms that dominate our economy today.
