In our final episode of Season 1, the Periphery reflects on its journey into the center of technology and innovation. Almost a year ago, we set out to look for new tools for understanding the complexity of the technology problems that we face today. We wanted to find new ways to assess the social and political implications of technology at every level and transcend the narrow confines of technical and industry jargon. Looking back on Season 1, the Periphery asks: what kind of tool have we created? What are the limits of a "society and culture podcast disguised as a tech podcast" anyway? And what lies ahead of the project of the Periphery?

We're on a mission to change the nature of innovation and tech policy by changing how people think about technology and its relationship to their lives. That's why the future of the Periphery is entwined with yours. Look out for Season 2 in early 2022, with a deeper focus on critical issues in tech as we continue to build an "atlas" of technology and society. We can't thank you enough for joining us on this journey. See you soon!
