How We Got Here with NLWAuthor: Nathaniel Whittemore
For people who want to understand everything. Every week, NLW takes something about right now that doesnt seem to make sense and explains, in about an hour, how we got here. Why tech went from Americas most trusted industry to one of its least. Why every phone has a sportsbook on it. Why so many people you know are on GLP-1s. Why weve been scared of AI for as long as weve had computers. The answers run through economics, politics, culture and technology, and theyre almost always more interesting than the version youve been told.
