The transition into the digital age is described as a benefit for the controller class and Silicon Valley sorcerers rather than the average person. Concerns are raised regarding centralized corporate consortiums having control over property, bank accounts, and smart locks. High-profile data breaches like the Equifax debacle and cell phone surveillance are cited as reasons to reclaim a digital footprint.

Drawing on his professional background in digital strategy for major European media companies, Gordon White discusses the long-term plan for data tracking and surveillance. He claims that organizations like Google have historically used "deep state" funding to consolidate control over information. White advises listeners to remove toxic platforms like Facebook while maintaining a nuanced, rather than binary, relationship with technology.

Artist and musician Max Egan joins the show to discuss his decade-long work in alternative media, including his podcast Surviving The Matrix and his website The Crow House.
