David Golumbia retrospective, part 1: "Is Wario cyberlibertarian?"
Episode 10
Saturday, 16 August, 2025
Alex and Liz discuss only some of the works of linguist, philosopher, and academic David Golumbia, including: The Cultural Logic of Computation (2009) The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism (2016) Cyberlibertarianism: The Right-Wing Politics of Digital Technology (2024) Technology and Silicon Valley are often associated with left-leaning politics. Still, various causes (SOPA/PIPA discourse, internet publication and copyright discourse, digital innovation) have roots in libertarian or conservative and reactionary narratives. Golumbia’s work shows that it’s difficult (read: impossible) to divorce reactionary values from Silicon Valley and its staunchest supporters. Reading list: The Great White Robot God A declaration of the independence of cyberspace The Language of Science and the Science of Language: Chomsky's Cartesianism
