In a Logos Press Engine crossover, Jarrad Hope brings Corey Petty - Logos Program Lead & Hashing It Out host - to discuss the political and technological motivations behind their work and their aim of building infrastructure that supports civil liberties and resists centralization of power, using open-source tech.

They question if the nature of technology is inherently neutral or not, the ethics of building technology, and how it relates to political structures.
