Andy Warhol arguably invented the cultural landscape we inhabit today, but fifty years before the iPhone: reality as entertainment, consumers as content creators, influencer marketing, and DIY viral fame. He's a fascinating pioneer and his impact on today's tech industry is hard to understate. It's well worth learning about his work, which goes far beyond the pop art prints.
