This week's show is a fun and fascinating consideration of all the ways we're shaped by technology and how we are technological beings, more and more with each passing year. Grant and Brooke share their earliest internet, email, and social media interactions, and connect with guest Vauhini Vara, whose new book, Searches, explores our online footprints, how technology shapes us, and how we both exploit and get exploited by big tech—like Google, YouTube, and social media companies. A truly interesting consideration of how far we've evolved alongside technology. Vauhini Vara began her journalism career as a technology reporter at The Wall Street Journal and later launched, edited and wrote for The New Yorker. Her latest book is Searches, a work of journalism and memoir about how big technology companies are changing our understanding of our selves and our communities. Her debut novel, The Immortal King Rao, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and her story collection, This is Salvaged, was longlisted for The Story Prize and the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award.

Eric Newman speaks with journalist and author Vauhini Vara about her new book Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age. The book hybrid blend of memoir and modern tech history explore how the internet, AI, and the corporate tech giants behind them have shaped the way we see ourselves and connect with others. Through Vara's personal anecdotes and digital history deep dives—including a nostalgic look at AOL chat rooms, a rundown of her Google search history and prolific Amazon product reviews, and her reporting on the rise of AI and how an early version of ChatGPT helped her write an essay about her sister's death—Searches shows how our search for meaning and identity online defines life in the digital age in ways both fascinating and concerning.

Eric Newman speaks with journalist and author Vauhini Vara about her new book “Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age.” The book hybrid blend of memoir and modern tech history explore how the internet, AI, and the corporate tech giants behind them have shaped the way we see ourselves and connect with others. Through Vara's personal anecdotes and digital history deep dives—including a nostalgic look at AOL chat rooms, a rundown of her Google search history and prolific Amazon product reviews, and her reporting on the rise of AI and how an early version of ChatGPT helped her write an essay about her sister's death—“Searches” shows how our search for meaning and identity online defines life in the digital age in ways both fascinating and concerning.

In an essay about her recent book Searches (Pantheon, 2025), a genre-bending chronicle of the deeply personal ways we use the internet and the uncanny ways it uses us, Vauhini Vara admits that several reviewers seemed to mistake her engagement with ChatGPT as an uncritical embrace of large language models. Enter Aarthi Vadde to talk with Vauhini about the power and the danger of digital tech and discuss to what it means to co-create with AI. Vauhini tells Aarthi and host Sarah Wasserman that at the heart of all her work is a desire to communicate—that “language,” as she says, “is the main tool we have to bridge the divide.” She explains that the motivation in Searches as in her journalism is to test out tools that promise new forms of communication—or even tools that promise to be able to communicate themselves. Amidst all her interest in new tech, Vauhini is first and foremost a writer: she and Aarthi discuss what it means to put ChatGPT on the printed page, what genre means in today's media ecosystem, and whether generative AI will steal writers' paychecks. Considering generative AI models as tools that “don't have a perspective,” makes for an episode that diagnoses the future of writing with much less doomsaying than authors and critics often bring to the topic. And if all of this writing with robots sounds too “out there,” stay tuned for Vauhini's down-to-earth answer to our signature question. Mentioned in this episode: Vauhini Vara, Searches (2025), The Immortal King Rao (2022), “My Decade in Google Searches” (2019) Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays (1580) Tom Comitta, The Nature Book (2023) Sheila Heti, Alphabetical Diaries (2024), “According to Alice” (2023) Audre Lorde, “The Master's Tools will never Dismantle the Master's House” (1979) Learn more about your ad choices.

Nya mätningar av världsalltets äldsta ljus tyder på att universums geometri inte är krökt, utan platt som ett salsgolv. Men vad betyder det egentligen? Och kan det vara så att krökningen finns där, men att vi inte ser den för att universum är ohyggligt mycket större än vi kan begripa? Redaktör: Marcus Rosenlund. E-post: kvanthopp@yle.fi

Hoofd voorlichting en spindoctor van de VVD Kees Berghuis wordt de nieuwe hoofdredacteur van WNL. Dit zorgde voor nogal wat commotie, want een voormalig spindoctor als hoofdredacteur, zorgt dat niet voor belangenverstrengeling? WNL-journalist Elif Isitman zat in de sollicitatiecommissie en ziet geen enkel probleem in Berghuis als hoofdredacteur. 'Hij heeft benadrukt de VVD niet voor te trekken', aldus Isitman. 'En op het moment dat we hem daarop betrappen heeft hij gezegd dat we hem meteen aan z'n jasje moeten trekken.' Voormalig Talpa-directeur Paul Römer snapt de hele discussie niet, wijzend naar PvdA-prominent Marcel van Dam, die ooit directeur van de VARA was. 'Laat Berghuis bewijzen dat hij een goede hoofdredacteur is', roept Römer op.  Kiki Schippers van het Taalteam sluit het mediaforum af.

Wille och Jacob svarar på lyssnarfrågor där den stora frågan blev om det finns någon speciellt stadie i livet då styrketräning blir viktigare än konditionsträning för hälsan? Den frågan mynnar ut i en diskussion kring hur stark som är stark nog när det gäller benstyrka om huruvida den gränsen bör vara olika i olika åldrar för att man ska ha någon typ av buffert när man åldras. Förutom det så diskuteras också träning med artros samt vad som händer med VO2max om man av någon anledning behöver vara väldigt inaktiv under några veckor.

This week on The VCR Show, Vara and Roxy dive headfirst into the gritty, gory world of Sinners. Spoiler alert: Roxy was all in on the blood-soaked chaos and twisted storytelling, while Vara... let's just say he had a few more reservations.From the film's unapologetic violence to its eerie atmosphere, Roxy found herself totally captivated by its dark charm. Meanwhile, Vara couldn't help but question whether the shock factor was doing too much heavy lifting. Was it style over substance? Or a hidden gem in the horror underground?Together, they break down what works, what flops, and who Sinners is really for. Whether you're a hardcore horror fan or someone who needs a little more than guts and gore to get hooked, this episode has something for you.Tune in and find out — are you Team Roxy or Team Vara on this one?Follow Roxy: TikTok: ⁠⁠@Thepoproxx⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠@Poproxx428⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠Roxy Perez - Curvy Model⁠⁠Follow The VCR Show: Website: ⁠⁠TheVCRShow.com⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠thevcrshow@gmail.com⁠

Hajduk je sve dalje od mjesta prvaka Hrvatske za ovu sezonu. Rijeka je ostala prva na prvenstvenoj ljestvici, a prati je Dinamo s bodom manje. Šest bodova Osijeku bježi Varaždin, koji je na četvrtom mjestu, koje vodi u europska natjecanja. Ispred Osijeka su još Istra i Slaven Belupo. Na začelju ljestvice je Šibenik, a Gorica i Lokomotiva po svemu su sudeći ostaju u ligi. Odličan nastup hrvatskih karatistkinja i karatista na Europskom prvenstvu.

With SEARCHES: Selfhood in the Digital Age (Pantheon), tech writer Vauhini Vara explores how our sense of self has been co-opted, quantified, and exploited by big tech as a way of selling us more stuff or selling us to third parties. We talk about what we talk about when we talk about our Google searches (& Amazon purchases, Twitter subject preferences, etc.), the interface of exploitation and self-expression, what selfhood means to tech companies vs. what it means to us, and what she learned when she fed chapters of her book into ChatGPT. We get into agency vs. coercion, how the promise of tech so often gets inverted, how ChatGPT tried & failed to express her grief from her sister's death from cancer, why she brought memoir into SEARCHES alongside its other experimental modes, how her husband serves as a low-tech foil in the book, and whether or not we have a say in how the online era plays out. We also discuss why she doesn't post about her personal life, how the book's multiplicity of voices offsets the corporate voice of ChatGPT, what she got out of Bill Gates' biography, the importance of non-VC-funded technology to help us escape exploitative models of information, whether an essayist ever really changes over the course of an essay, and more.

Vauhini Vara's new book “Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age” is a deeply personal and provocative exploration of how tech companies have both fulfilled and exploited our human desires for understanding and connection. It shows how we are complicit in all of this.

Vauhini Vara’s new essay collection opens with a heart to heart with ChatGPT. In her prompt, she asks the program to give her feedback on a few chapters of her upcoming book. “I’m nervous,” she tells it. “That’s completely understandable,” it responds with a cheery exclamation point. “Sharing your writing can feel really personal, but I’m here to provide a supportive and constructive perspective. Take your time, and whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here to discuss it with you.” So begins a high tech odyssey through old Google searches, Amazon product reviews, social media profiles and experiments with artificial intelligence. Along the way, Vara explores the technology that came of age alongside her, including her teenage years on Mercer Island and college experience at Stanford, and how her relationship with it has changed over time. The book is part-memoir, part critique of how tech companies have positioned their products as “collaborators,” or even companions, in our lives. Every couple chapters, Vara invites the large language model to respond to her writing. It’s just one of the ways she breaks form in the book. It’s called “SEARCHES: Selfhood in the Digital Age.” Guests: Vauhini Vara, author Related Links: Elliott Bay Book Company | Events 45368 Vauhini Vara Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!
