Technology
In this episode, we meet anthropologist Joshua Reno (https://binghamton.academia.edu/JoshuaReno) , author of 'Military Waste: The Unexpected Consequences of Permanent War Readiness' (https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520316027/military-waste) to discuss Josh's investigations into the strange externalities of rapidly proliferating military technology, both on planet Earth and beyond. Join us to discover Point Nemo, the so-called "oceanic pole of inaccessibility,” and graveyard of the world's downed orbital tech; why future war really will be fought in space; how ‘Oumuamua’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOumuamua) may be the first instance of interstellar landfill; and how hackers are repurposing abandoned orbital technology using ham radio and rented satellite dishes.
