Today: Five years of Techtonic: Celebrating the five-year anniversary of Techtonic with emails and audio messages from listeners. The books, the interviews, the rants, and the surveillance. (So much surveillance.) Let’s toast Techtonic’s first half-decade.

Nov 4, 2019: NYC Mesh organizers Scott Rasmussen and Jillian Murphy

June 15, 2020: Jason Fried, cofounder of Basecamp, on launching Hey.com

June 24, 2019: Scott Urban, creator of Reflectacles, “privacy eyewear.” Thanks to Alex in Brooklyn for suggesting this and the two shows above.

June 22, 2020: The eBay story. Thanks to listener P, who writes: “I get surveillance capitalism (and hate it, especially the LinkNYC which we cannot escape), but they took it to a whole ’nother level with the stalking!”

September 20, 2021: Ten Reasons to Smash Your Smartphone. Thanks to listener Catherine.

August 22, 2022: Molly Osberg and New York's new Link5G surveillance towers. Thanks to listener Steve, who writes: “It’s eye opening and it also seems sad, but I’m glad you continue to be a ‘watchman on the wall’ for things like this.”

May 30, 2022: Jeff Deutsch, author, “In Praise of Good Bookstores.” Thanks to listener herb.nyc, who says: “May more Seminary Co-op Bookstores bloom.”

    --> Thanks also to listener Cris for maintaining the Techtonic Reading List, linked from the techtonic.fm one-page site.

October 23, 2017: Roger Anderson, founder of Jolly Roger Telephone Co. Thanks to DJ Paradox.

Finally, for our special song: Thanks to Greg Harrison, Lily Wen, Matt Fiveash, and especially Scott Williams!

Poor wage slave, though. It's a little cruel to a very obviously oppressed and horribly treated workforce. It's one thing to just occupy a bot with a bot -- and solid comedy, I'm sure. But we should maintain solidarity for the workers who are also being lied to and used.

Sorry, another cheery note!
