Description

Barry and Mike discuss Wendy Chun's book, "Updating to Remain the Same" and discuss the political and social implications of her arguments. They begin by deconstructing the terms of her argument that Crisis + Habit = Update and pay particular attention to the role that Chun assigns neoliberalism in defining the perpetually shifting nature of our networked selves. This one gets a little messy.
