Corrupted Nerds: Conversations
Corrupted Nerds is about how the internet revolution is changing society.
We're completely rewiring the way the human species handles information and knowledge for everyone on the planet. And knowledge is power, right? So really, we're changing power relationships at every level of society. And I do mean every level.
Part of this power shift is about nation-states and war and espionage and criminal hackers, and certainly information security and hacking and the cybers are things we'll cover.
But Corrupted Nerds is also about the relationship between governments and their citizens, businesses and their customers, parents and their children and all the rest.
This is the Conversations feed, bringing you interviews and panel discussions with smart people who can help us understand all this stuff.
There's also the Extras podcast, containing related material that happens not to be a conversation. More podcasts streams may emerge in the future.
Corrupted Nerds is produced and presented by Stilgherrian.
