Computers, their consequences, and the worlds they make possible.
Jay Springett is a writer, podcaster, strategist, and cultural theorist working at the frontier of digital culture and the evolving internet. His work explores how computers, platforms, and emerging technologies shape culture, communities, and the worlds people inhabit online.
He is the host of the long-running essay podcast Permanently Moved, where he reflects on artificial intelligence, social media, online communities, and life in the shadow of the stack. Through personal essays and cultural analysis, the show traces the strange edges of technology, media, and the internet as it continues to transform everyday life.
Jay writes widely about world-running, Solarpunk, digital infrastructure, and the cultural consequences of computers. His work focuses on the design, administration, and flourishing of worlds; from online communities and media ecosystems to hybrid environments shaped by software and story.
He has spoken internationally about technology, culture, and the future of the internet at events including Unsound, Sonar+D, Theorising the Web, and Transmediale.
