Tesla Is a Monopoly, We Just Don’t Know It Yet

Inside industrial warfare at its finest — Tesla’s Autonomy Day came and went, and investors and critics felt unimpressed by the ambitious presentation.

The Culture Industry in a New Media Age

Tracking tech through an Adornian perspective — In Theodor Adorno’s polemic titled The Culture Industry Reconsidered, the critical theorist confronts the real power of industrial communication and its effects.
