The Metaphysic of Dub: Podcast with Louis Chude-Sokei

An interview I did with Louis Chude-Sokei has become a lushly produced podcast episode from The Organist, a co-production of The Believer magazine and KCRW (NPR, Los Angeles). Per The Organist: “The Nigerian-Jamaican- American writer Louis Chude-Sokei on black cyborgs, black blackface, and the intersections of race, technology, and robotics.”

“A lot of the kinds of questions asked about artificial intelligence and robots: Can they think? Are they just mimics? Are they capable of original thought? Do they have souls? Can they have souls? These are the same questions that were asked about negro slaves.”
