Will tech utopias rescue or ruin humanity?

S2 E6 115 MINS

As the world grapples with fears of civilizational decline, technology is inspiring new societal visions. Tech giants and leaders building tech-run cities like Praxis and Próspera are touting innovative, cutting-edge ways of living. But are these so-called tech utopias offering a bold new blueprint or a false hope? 

This debate explores whether these experiments are visionary solutions or exclusive enclaves for elites. In this episode, expert guests Titus Gebel, Gökçe Günel and Evgeny Morozov debate whether we’re truly building a brighter future for all or leaving the rest of the world behind.
