I’d also recommend David Cayley’s series of broadcast conversations with Illich on his website :

Yeah Cayley is very good, a lot of those conversations ended up being a major part of his excellent book mentioned above.

I'm delighted people still read him.

Discovered him via John Holt, back in the day, and started down that road with Deschooling Society. All his stuff is worth the read.

Yes Buddy that is my fear, time will tell if the Tech bros saw which way the wind was blowing and jumped ship, or whether they helped create that wind and what they were promised to do so.

One oligarchy replaces another.

None of them particularly interested in making life better for the plebes.
