The first of the new Hypertext podcasts is here.
After months in production and many hours debating the subject matter, Hypertext’s new series of podcasts is here starting with Always Online.
Always Online is a show about being online and taking a closer look at internet culture. Our first episode features a lengthy conversation about the highly publicised fight between X’s Elon Musk and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg.
The pair appeared to want to fight each other in some bizarre billionaire show match but over the months it has become clear that the battle of the brainiacs was never going to happen.
After discussing whether the pair will ever fight, we take a closer look at how social media and figures like Musk and Zuckerberg fuel online tribalism either intentionally or unknowingly.
Below you can find a few useful links that elaborate on the concepts of online tribalism as well as coverage about the billionaire brawl that was never to be.
