This week on Prosthetic Gods, Nir and J are discussing the hit Apple TV show Pluribus. Created by Vince Gilligan, the show runner of Breaking Bad, the show explores a world taken over by a very nice hive mind that wants to give you anything you want. Would you take advantage of the perks, appreciate that the hive reduced humanity’s suffering, or fight like hell to give us all back our miserable individuality?
Show Notes:“The Benign Zombies of Pluribus” Jonathan Moreno
“The Fable of the Bees” Bernard Mandeville/ (1714)
Dostoevsky - Notes from the Underground
“The Revolutionary Spirit of Star Wars Andor” Jessie Gender
“The revolutionary politics of Andor” Jorge Cotte
