How do we shape our future, right now? Author and architect Keller Easterling discusses the role architects should take to shape a better world, and the invisible systems used by corporate power to exert control over populations.

Easterling talks about her latest book, Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, and what how architecture can shape our futures – for the better or worse.

And later in the show, we speak to scientist Helen Caldicott about facing the nuclear threat. How much do you love your children, the planet, your own life? Caldicott says that nuclear – whether power or bombs – pose such a great threat to all of these, that we must stare it down and change.

An urgent appeal for your support: We Have Until Midnight to raise $13,000

Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.

Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.

Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we launched a fundraiser. We have until midnight tonight to hit our $13,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
