Everything is not ok. Unreal Times explores AI, attention, and what it means to stay human in a machine-shaped world that wasn't built for you.

Unreal Times with Eric Anctil explores what's happening to us, not just what's happening around us. The choices we're making and the ones being made for us.

Each episode digs into the collision between technology and everyday life: artificial intelligence, algorithms, the attention economy, surveillance, data privacy, digital culture, social media, trust, screen time, parenting in a digital age, education, and the quiet ways we're all changing without meaning to. This isn't a tech channel for tech people. It's for parents, educators, leaders, creatives, and anyone navigating a world that feels less and less like it was designed with actual humans in mind.

Eric Anctil is a professor of technology and society; author and speaker guiding real people through unreal times. New episodes weekly.
