The Season Finale of TBPN

On the show, the meta-show, and cultural power.

People have been sending me TBPN headlines to opine on because I’ve been thinking about the consumer-tech-media-complex for a long time. I've been friendly with John and Jordi, and Dylan, for years via the Twitterverse and their string of culture-first companies and media experiments, and occasional near-misses working together. Last year I wrote an essay about the duality of our era, Media and Machines, and it’s timely once again.

I published a version of this essay on Twitter, the native home of TBPN. (If you’re not familiar with TBPN, this NYT profile should get you up to speed.)
