This episode, Jason and Chad tumble into a memetic wormhole when
exploring a cryptozoological science fiction piece called "And
Whether Pigs Have Wings" by Nancy Kress, and are saved by their
virtual assistant.
We also feature a short clip of our upcoming interview with Brian
Dowtin, who is a computer scientist working on some of the whys and
hows of technology.
Brian picked an Omni interview between Bob Guccione and futurist
Alvin Toffler, who wrote Future Shock.
We’ll connect a lot of dots between Brian’s work and this prescient
voice of future past as we take a nostalgic Big Trak journey into
the collective hallucination we call childhood.
