The Techno-Utopian Internet Game That's Immiserating Filipinos
Feb 03, 2022•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Paul Butler examines how Axie Infinity, a "w3" online game sold as the future of work, is simply reinforcing drudgery. The game's makers say it's more than a game, it's a way to escape poverty. In reality, its part cynical hype and part pitiless grind. In the Spiel, Mike discusses how Jeff Zucker's resignation from CNN isn't a scandal of sex, it's a scandal of boundaries.
Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
