PRI’s World Technology Podcast #239 was posted on Friday and features an interview with Evgeny Morozov. Originally from Belarus, Morozov is currently a fellow at the Open Society Institute in New York. In the past, he has written for The Economist and, according to his blog, net.effect is currently writing a book on the impact of the internet on global politics, with particular emphasis on authoritarian states. A recent post to net.effect is entitled “Moldova’s Twitter Revolution.” That post, and the Technology Podcast interview, explore the role played by Twitter and other social networking sites in the recent unrest in Moldova.
The World Technology Podcast is hosted by Clark Boyd and is available at http://www.theworld.org/technology or via iTunes.
