Edwin Black: The Algorithm Ghetto, Cashless Society & Newgenics

Award-winning author Edwin Black joins us to discuss “Newgenics“ and the Chinese-style “Social Credit Score“ system which he believes will ultimately come to every nation on earth and which has been greatly accelerated by Covid-19. He describes how a person within such a system will become relegated to the “Algorithm Ghetto“ with a “Non-Entity“ or “Zombie“ status. He looks at what this means for the future and what, if anything, individuals or nations can do to mitigate such a dystopian scenario. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: SubscribeStar PayPal Bitcoin Show Notes “Digital ghetto,” “cashless society” pose threats even beyond Orwell, journalist contends ’Living In a Algorithm Ghetto’ Lecture on Nazi Eugenics: Hitler’s Idea for a Master Race was Born in the USA Q & A on the Algorithm Ghetto The Edwin Black Show Episode 1: Nuremberg for COVID-19 Websites Edwin Black The Edwin Black Show Twitter About Edwin Black Edwin Black is the award-winning, New York Times bestselling international investigative author of 200 award-winning editions in 20 languages in 190 countries, as well as scores of newspaper and magazine articles in the leading publications of the United States, Europe and Israel.
