Episode description

The monsters we create have always given us insight into what we're scared of in the world around us. Whether that's zombies igniting fears around racial tensions in the United States of the nineteen sixties or Dracula articulating a fear of the other and of immigration at the end of nineteenth century.

Aleks Krotoski asks what those monsters born in tech tell us about our fears today.

Producer: Peter McManus
