currently.

Hi, this is Dave, and this is John.

And welcome to episode 3 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today we'll be talking about killer robots and robot uprisings and the

intersection between video games and war and we have a just a fantastic guest with us today, P.W. Singer, author of the book

Wired for War. So we'll get to his interview in just a little bit and then stick around after

the interview where John and I will be talking about some of the science fiction ideas that led to some of these new inventions.

Okay, so Peter Warren Singer is Senior Fellow and Director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution.

He is the youngest scholar named Senior Fellow in Brookings's 90-year history.

He has provided commentary on military affairs for nearly every major TV and radio outlet including ABC

ABC CBS 60 Minutes CNN Fox NPR the NBC Today Show and the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy

podcast.

His first book, Corporate Warriors, the rise of the privatized military industry pioneered the study of the new

industry of private companies providing military services for hire.

His next book book Children at War

explore the rise of another new force in modern warfare, child, soldier groups,

and his most recent book, Wired for War, looks at the implications of robotics

and other new technologies for war, politics, ethics, and law in the 21st century?

I like the way you added Geek's Guy to the Galaxy to his bio.

I'm sure he's going to add that himself on to show errors.
