Unreal Times with Eric Anctil explores what's happening to us, not just what's happening around us. The choices we're making and the ones being made for us.

Each episode digs into the collision between technology and everyday life: artificial intelligence, algorithms, the attention economy, surveillance, data privacy, digital culture, social media, trust, screen time, parenting in a digital age, education, and the quiet ways we're all changing without meaning to. This isn't a tech show for tech people. It's for parents, educators, leaders, creators, and anyone navigating a world that feels less and less like it was designed with actual humans in mind.

The show is hosted by Eric Anctil, a professor of technology and society who's spent more than two decades studying what happens to people when the tools they use start using them back. He's not here to predict the future or tell you what to think. He's not here to tell you everything is ok, because everything is not ok. But he is here because we're not done evolving yet.
