‘The Audacity’ Creator Jonathan Glatzen On Trying To Anticipate The Constantly Evolving Tech Landscape: “This Is A Race I Couldn’t Win” – Contenders TV

The Audacity creator Jonathan Glatzen and star Billy Magnussen, who plays wealthy tech CEO Duncan Park, took the stage at Deadline Contenders TV to talk about taking the tech monster lurking in the shadows and those responsible for its existence, and turning it into a comedy.

“The bubble of Silicon Valley and the products that they put out do tend to dehumanize us all and themselves,” Glatzen said. “The idea was ‘let’s make [the characters] fear their own humanity and let the humor come from that.’ AI is mining out emails, our Zoom chats, everything, guys. Do not accept cookies. … They say that when they stop talking about Big Brother, they won.”
