In this course
Mark Fenster appears primarily as a passing reference in the course readings on conspiracy theory and institutional opacity. His work surfaces in discussions of how scientific institutions (CERN, D-Wave) become sites of conspiratorial speculation, where technological complexity and secrecy breed alternative narratives about what's actually being computed or discovered. The citations suggest Fenster contributes to mapping the cultural conditions under which AI and quantum computing systems become mythologized rather than understood, relevant to how "Pandaemonium" frames the gap between technical reality and public imagination around emergent technologies.
