Episode 33: Can Ferris Bueller Save America?
-
Narrated by:

There was a time when we could believe in Ferris Bueller. Skip school. Steal a Ferrari. Take over a parade. Trust that the future was basically ours. Twenty-five years after 9/11, we’re asking what happened to that sense of possibility, and how much of our lives are now lived inside stories written for us by politics, technology, fear, and algorithms. The question at the foundation of this episode is deceptively simple: Who gets to decide what our lives are for?
Things referenced in this episode:
- “The World of Security” by Ben Rhodes
- “Always Forget About 9/11” by Robert Wright
- Haroon's Episode on Oh God Now What with Nyla Boodoo
