In this episode, Aidan begins analyzing the book Escape Velocity by Mark Dery, a cultural critic known for his analysis of new media and fringe culture. The book served as sort of an inspiration for this podcast as it analyzes the intertwining of technology, culture, subversion, honestly a lot of stuff. Thanks for tuning in, hope you enjoy!
