Internet Monopoly

Human Error

Available for over a year

Ahhh the heady days of the personal website, where 12-year-old Hussein wiled away the hours listing his favourite Pokemon for an audience of none. Now, it’s all just tweeting, ‘gramming and, if you’re an aunt over the age of 40, spreading terrifying conspiracy theories on Facebook. Join comedian Olga Koch and journalist Hussein Kesvani as they consider how and how the internet went from being a place of imagination, possibility and endless flash games, to being owned by a few, all-powerful tech giants. Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
