Episode 5: A good day at the office? The role of IT and the central office in Deep Transitions

It’s often tempting to see technology and humanity as two separate domains. In this week’s podcast, A good day at the office? The role of IT and the central office in Deep Transitions, Ed Steinmueller tells the unexpectedly compelling story of the intertwined development of workers and the technological aids they developed for record keeping across the 20th century.

As a science-fiction aficionado with an deep academic interest in technology, Ed is the perfect teacher to explain how our deep co-constitution with technology, and the choices our businesses and societies make now, will determine whether our future relationship with these tools we produce will diminish or enhance humanity.
