On the first hour of Nite Lite, Greg and Pete talk with August Lamm, a technocritical activist from New Haven, Connecticut, whose work explores how to live more intentionally with — or without — modern technology. A 2024 MacDowell fellow, she has written for major publications and has two forthcoming books with Vintage, including a novel and a manifesto on rethinking our relationship to tech.
