Hi and welcome to the A16Z podcast. I'm Hannah. In this episode, A16Z co-founder Mark

Marks, co-founder, Jorge Condé, take a look back at Mark's software-will-Eat-the-world thesis

and think about where we are now, nearly a decade later, how software has delivered on that

promise and where it is yet to come. In the wide-ranging

conversation, the two partners discuss everything from the learnings of software's transformation

of the music and automotive industries to how software will now eat health care, including

what exactly changed in the fields of bio and computer science to make Mark eat his own words.

This conversation was originally recorded as an event at A16Z,

so you'll also hear me sharing the questions that were asked at the end so that you listeners can hear

Mark's answers. So thrilled here to have our founder, our co-founder, and general partner, Mark

Andreessen. For those of you that are traveling home after this via an airport, you will probably see

this smiling face on the cover of a magazine.

Magazines, I'm told that this is a new technological device.

It does.

But it doesn't update very fast.

You can swipe, but you can grip it.
