Welcome back! This is week two of our reading Benjamin Bratton’s new book, The Revenge of the Real: Politics for a Post-Pandemic World.
There were just a couple of us this week, so I’ll keep the intro short and sweet. We read chapters 2 and 3 of Revenge of the Real — that is, “The Big Filtering” and “Comparative Governance”.
Below are links to a few things we talked about.
