Downtime with Hajer 003. Welcome Back! In today's episode I tackle the mind boggling concept that is free will. While discussing Devs by FX on Hulu and HBO's third season of Westworld I ponder over whether in the era of Big Data we really have control over our decisions, how predictive algorithms could endanger us and the illusion of free will. Have we surrendered power to Big Data? Is the universe deterministic ? I hope you enjoy this week's episode.

Downtime with Hajer 001. Today I discuss the themes of motherhood and choice in Hulu's Little Fires Everywhere based on the 2017 bestseller of the same name by Celeste Ng. I ponder what it means to be a mother for the different characters in the show and how the choices we make affect our lives. Can you ever make up for your mistakes ? Who deserves to be a mother ?
