Show Notes
Twenty minutes in Elsewhere. Then he’ll study. That’s the plan, anyway. But Elsewhere is learning what keeps him there—and it has something even better waiting. In this story episode of The Things We Make, temptation gets personal. Next episode, we’ll explore recommendation algorithms and the ethics of designing for attention.

More from The Things We Make
In this companion episode to Elsewhere: Just One More, we’ll explore how recommendation algorithms learn from our behavior and choose what we see next. From personalized concerts to endless zombie waves, we revisit the story from the last episode to unpack the technology behind “just one more.” Along the way, we’ll also be asking whether keeping us engaged also means helping us spend our time well.
