Andresen Horace has had a hand in shaping the gig economy and in reshaping labor in a lot of ways.

And so when they put their institutional support behind Substack, I have to take them seriously.

Hello and welcome to Tech Won't Save Us.

I'm your host, Paris Marks, and this week my guest is Anna Weiner.

Anna is the author of Uncanny Valley and a contributing writer at The New Yorker.

She's written fascinating pieces about how the tech industry is affecting the landscape of San Francisco,

about Substack, the new platform that says it's going to transform the future of journalism, and so much more.

In this conversation, we cover a lot of topics, and it's really interesting to get Anna's take on her trajectory from publishing into the tech industry and now into journalism at her position at the New Yorker.

And how that has given her insight on how the tech industry is affecting our culture,

the way that it is a homogenizing force in many ways, and the problems of

diversity and sexism that are in the tech industry, but also across the broader society.

I was really happy to have Anna on the show, and I think you're really going to like our conversation.
