Cold open: Garden Glossary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBMRWwjGJHQ

It’s time for theory chat! To analyse the techno-politics of smart systems, we need good theories at hand. And we’re joined by the great Liv Agar – philosopher, podcaster, streamer – to discuss the hyper-prescient work of Gilles Deleuze on societies of control and the transition away from disciplinary societies. We’re talking rhizomes, dividuals, passwords, capitalism, power, and smart technology as we break down a critical theory for understanding a society driven mad by control.

Follow, listen, read, watch Liv: https://linktr.ee/livagar

60. We Live in a Society (of Control) (ft. Liv Agar)

When Axton Betz-Hamiton was 11 years old her parents' identities were stolen, but at that time consumer protection services for identity theft victims were basically non-existent.  So the family dealt with the consequences as best they could.  But then when Axton got to college she realized that her identity had been stolen as well. Her credit score was in the lowest 2%.  As she was working to restore her credit, she inadvertently discovered who had stolen the family's identity. It would change everything forever.
