As the clock counted down to the year 2000, the world held its breath, unsure whether technology would carry us forward or pull everything apart. Y2K wasn’t just a computer glitch; it was a moment that tested trust in systems, leadership, and the modern age itself.

This episode explores the fear, the preparation, and why the world waking up on January 1st, 2000, mattered more than anyone expected.
