About this listen

Cities in the Sky is a podcast examining the relationship between communication technologies and the rise and fall of civilizations. Host Anthony Caruthers presents his “Cities Theory,” a framework that traces human history through successive stages—each defined by a dominant medium of communication, from language and codices to print and social media. Through monologue and reflection, the podcast explores collapse, renewal, and the shifting boundaries of human consciousness.
