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. Governments spent billions preparing for a disaster that might come from nothing more than a date change. This episode explores the fear, the preparation, and why the world waking up on January 1st, 2000, mattered more than anyone expected.
