  • Book Burning Bonanza

    Book Burning Bonanza
    2021/12/13
    Earlier this week, someone asked me if I would help get the word out about a book they thought should be banned from our public school libraries. “Pornographic,” I believe was the accusation. I didn’t endorse the message, but it did leave me wondering: what makes a book bannable? And what impact do all of these cries for censoring books actually have?

    If you happened to have listened to the episode last week, I was talking about when to take our masks off. You may remember me saying something like “these assumptions may change” or “take them off after your entire household is vaccinated.”

    Well...assumptions changed. Let's go visit Battle Station: Omicron.

    There is so much data orbiting each of us. And it all carries on a life of its own, propelled by some kind of digital momentum. But your absolute final piece of data - your cause of death - is riddled with errors...and always has been. Why?
