All the residents’ cars were sent to the mainland and for the past month the islanders have been “driving” the Arrival, a revolutionary autonomous vehicle.

The future, it seems, has arrived.

In 16 extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people, how attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought, how historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War.
