The Enemy Knows The System (Part 1 of 5)

The history of computers is filled with liars, hustlers, tragedy, and genius. In this episode, we discover a tale of incest and betrayal that sets the stage for the birth of the modern computer.

In Falken's Maze, technologist and former professor Jason Thomas explores the intersection of technology, history, and culture. Created for listeners nostalgic for the 80s but who also want to understand the complexities of today, our show demystifies the world's most compelling technologies and events through 80's movies, music, and television.
