Summary

EPISODE # 1109 FROM UTOPIA TO DYSTOPIA: THE VANISHING PROMISE OF PRIVACY IN THE AGE OF CONTROL In an age where privacy feels more elusive than ever, author and digital privacy expert Gabriel Custodiet takes us on a fascinating journey through the rise and fall of privacy in his groundbreaking book. From the late 19th century’s utopian dreams to the dystopian realities we now face, Custodiet reveals how the very systems meant to elevate the individual—centralized planning, welfare states, and technological advancements—have eroded personal freedom. We'll dive deep into the paradox of privacy: as society promises more protection and prosperity, we are forced to expose ourselves even further. How did we get here, and can we ever reclaim our privacy? GUEST: Gabriel Custodiet is the host of the Watchman Privacy Podcast, which offers practical tactics to evade surveillance while also exploring the technological, political, and cultural problems that make privacy so pressing and all-compassing an issue. His mixture of tactics, philosophy, and red pilling has made his eclectic show a bit of a cult classic in the podcast world. He recently published Privacy and Utopia, an intellectual history that attempts to explain the death of privacy by looking at its most recent origin: the rise of utopianism in the late nineteenth century. He also has a privacy tutorial series called Escape the Technocracy.
