Laurie Taylor explores the pleasure, panic and the politics of pushing. The touch of a finger can summon a taxi, turn on a TV, call for an elevator or 'like' a Facebook post. But are buttons simply neutral and natural mechanisms which ease our daily lives? He's joined by Steven Connor, Professor of English at the University of Cambridge and Barbara Speed, and the opinion editor at the i newspaper. First broadcast on Thinking Allowed, 8 October 2018.
