Nobody and the American Matrix
By Vernon Snell / Benson
Length5h 47m
About this audiobook
What if the Matrix isn’t hidden—what if we live inside it every day?
Nobody and the American Matrix follows Nobody and his unforgettable cast as they investigate the systems shaping American life: food, money, media, medicine, technology, advertising, politics, inequality, addiction, surveillance, algorithms, status, and human desire.
Moving from Washington Heights to the larger machinery of American culture, Nobody follows one question into another: Who benefits? Who pays? What is choice, and what has been conditioned?
Blending investigative satire, lived experience, history, philosophy, humor, and Poetic Cinema, Vernon Snell turns everyday life into a sprawling investigation of everything we consume—and everything consuming us. Nobody_and_the_American_Matrix_…
Nobody isn’t searching for a conspiracy. He’s searching for the connections.
