Author of the novel Moderation Elaine Castillo is here! We had a super informative talk about the leaps and bounds moderation has made on the internet since its conception in the 90's. What's it like moderating the internet now that it's designed to keep people addicted or depressed?
Do tech oligarchs use similar exploitive labor practices that we've seen used by white imperialist nations throughout history? These are the loaded questions we discuss here on ITBR so tune in and check out Elaine Castillo and her new novel Moderation down below!
Girlie Delmundo is the greatest content moderator in the world, and despite the setbacks of financial crises, climate catastrophe, and a global pandemic, she’s going places: she’s getting a promotion... Despite the isolation that virtual reality requires from colleagues, friends, and family, the unbelievable perks of her new job mean she can solve a lot of her family's problems with money and mobility...
But when she meets William Cheung, Playground’s wry, reticent co-founder (now Chief Product Officer) and slowly unearths some of his secrets, and finds herself somehow falling in love, she’ll learn that history might be impossible to moderate and the future utterly impossible to control.Elaine CastilloModeration by Elaine Castillo: 9780593489680 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books-----
