Breaking the Internet

Breaking the Internet

Excellent new season (so far) of the Long Shadow podcast. It tells the story of the internet. How it promised to unite people across the globe. And how – driven by profits and power – it tore the world apart instead. And it all started with…the infamous white and gold dress (You think it was blue and black? See, that’s why we can’t have nice things.)
