  • The world is pretty scary. Disease, geopolitical instability, data thieves and hackers. It can feel really heavy sometimes. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. On this show, we explore the complex relationship between technology, culture, and conflict in an entertaining, thoughtful way.

    New show is out! In this episode, we chat about the state of emergency in Costa Rica that resulted from the ransomware attack by the Russian cybergang Conti. Over 20 federal agencies are unable to deliver needed services to the citizens of the country and represents a whole new form of warfare.

    We also chat about book and podcast recommendations for the week. I host a book club over on amazon if you'd like to follow what I'm reading. Just drop me a invite request and I'll get you in: The Outrun Book Club.
