In an urgent critique of contemporary society, a voice from the sixties reflects on the erosion of critical education and the rise of AI, portraying it as a tool to suppress creativity and ensure conformity. This perspective is amplified by the electro duo Nostalgia Deathstar, whose upcoming album dissects the political and economic forces attacking higher education and steering capitalism toward authoritarianism.
