Summary
On this episode of Without a Country, Corinne Fisher dives into one of the strangest and most unsettling stories of the week: a deadly hantavirus outbreak aboard a quarantined cruise ship off the coast of Africa. With multiple deaths, questions about human-to-human transmission, and passengers trapped at sea, the story quickly turns into something that feels ripped straight out of a thriller movie.
Corinne also takes a deep look into the disturbing online communities tied to the Columbine shooters and how vulnerable teenagers are being pulled into extremist internet subcultures through platforms like Roblox, Discord, TikTok, and private chat groups. The conversation explores loneliness, bullying, internet radicalization, and the growing difficulty parents face trying to understand what their kids are exposed to online.
Later in the episode, the focus shifts to AI, data centers, and the future of American jobs. As towns across the country push back against massive AI infrastructure projects, Corinne breaks down the tension between technological progress, environmental concerns, corporate power, and the fear of what automation could mean for everyday workers.
From cruise ship paranoia and internet cult behavior to AI expansion and political hypocrisy, this episode covers the chaos, contradictions, and weirdness shaping modern life right now.
