Author: Merlin Coverley
This episode explores Hauntology: Ghosts of Futures Past by Merlin Coverley as a systems-level analysis of how digital archives, cultural production systems, and ideological constraints influence behavior, perception, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual preference, the episode shows why cultural stagnation can emerge alongside rapid technological change — and how these systems connect to broader economic and media structures.
