Our relationship to technology has reached a decisive moment. As we start a new decade, we’re thinking more critically about how tech impacts our daily lives than ever before.
The mythmaking behind Silicon Valley wunderkinds has slowed, headlined by a tumultuous few years for Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg, and the smoke-and-mirrors cautionary tale of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, among others.
