Lost Opportunities: The Unforeseen Impact of Online Conspiracies

So the internet is a trash fire, right?
We know that. We’ve never been more polarised.
We’re ready to argue with each other.
And of course, the internet itself
has never given us more reasons to distrust
everything we see and believe.
But what if there was a warning?
What if there was an inflection point in history
where we could have seen this coming
and changed the internet for the better
and we just missed it? Hi,
I’m Mark Finel and I’m back.
In the early days of the web,
this young engineer got online
and started posting these bread crumbs of conspiracy theory
that he thought was a joke
that everyone was in on. But what he didn’t bank on
was everybody in the entire world getting online
and his joke was about to get massively out of hand.
And it’s all part of my brand new audible original.
This is not a game only on audible.
