Eurídice Cabañes, philosopher: “Elon Musk has become Batman”

Philosopher Eurídice Cabañes, born in Valencia in 1983, initially resisted owning a mobile phone. However, she acquired one in mid-2025 due to difficulties with her mortgage, as her bank required a phone to send verification messages. Cabañes has now published an essay titled Sembrar futuros. Una guía de resistencia para la era del algoritmo, in which she critiques the business model of major tech companies. This model has made it increasingly difficult for people to opt out.
