About The Debugger
The Debugger is an independent publication launched by Gabriel Andrés Molero in March 2025, and it covers tech-related developments and their intertwining with politics, especially from a European perspective, but not limited to it. All the content is free and available to everybody. Now, he and Max Mazoteras Miras run together The Debugger. Want to join us and contribute? Let us know at [email protected].
The main goal of this publication is to raise awareness of the crucial relevance of technological developments that shape the political landscape in which we find ourselves. From the rise of AI-powered weapons to cyber-security threats and mass-produced misinformation, which leads to programmable elections, no one can say that digital technology is not a major driving force - if not already the main one - in politics. Yet this is still somehow niche and does not often reach a wider, non-technical audience. In addition to this, we strive to also offer more philosophical perspectives and nuances, in order to set some lines of discussion, and understand the bigger picture.
