We were promised flying cars, but got targeted ads and emotional collapse instead.
Welcome to Digital Doomsday (formerly Sci-Fi Realities), a podcast about the many ways technology is actively ruining humanity—one startup, synthetic embryo, and robot uprising at a time.
Hosted by Sophia Ferguson (not a scientist, but deeply concerned), this show dives into real-world sci-fi absurdities: AI gone rogue, de-extinction experiments, designer babies, humanoid Olympics, and the corporations hellbent on coding utopia… or something way worse.
If you’re fascinated, horrified, and just a little too online—this one’s for you.
🧬 Real science.
🤖 Black humor.
💀 No hope? Maybe.
New episodes monthly (or when I get to it). Bring snacks and emotional support.
