Black Mirror: Hated in the Nation #deathtosocialmedia

I sit down with Carl Cranney and Liz Busby from Pop Culture on the Apricot Tree in this (ambitious!) crossover episode to discuss an episode of Netflix's dystopian technology show Black Mirror.

We also talk about how we can resist the pull of cruelty and the "epistemology of hell" that drives the attention economy.
