Episode description
Downtime with Hajer 003. Welcome Back! In today's episode I tackle the mind boggling concept that is free will. While discussing Devs by FX on Hulu and HBO's third season of Westworld I ponder over whether in the era of Big Data we really have control over our decisions, how predictive algorithms could endanger us and the illusion of free will. Have we surrendered power to Big Data? Is the universe deterministic ? I hope you enjoy this week's episode.
