Yeah, technology.

What is it all about?

You could sort of think his technology is like a kind of a giant speedboat

just kind of whizzing along, bouncing along through across a lake.

And behind it there were all these waves bobbing up and down

and that are kind of capsizing everybody else.

And some of those boats survive, some of them write themselves, some of them drown.

But the tech industry isn't kind of looking over its shoulder.

Hello and welcome to Danny in the Valley,

your weekly dispatch from behind the scenes and inside the minds of the top people in tech. I'm your host, Danny Ford's in the West Coast correspondent for the Sunday Times,

and this is our penultimate episode of 2021. So just to give you a sense of kind of how the rest of the

year is going to shake out in terms of just episodes. We're doing this one,

obviously. And then early next week, we're going to do one more before everybody kind of

disappears for Christmas. So look out for that kind of Monday, Tuesday time. And then we're

off. We're off for Christmas, New Year's, and we'll be back the first week of January. So really, we're just

taking basically one week off. And they'll be back at it in 2022. So that's the plan.

And this week, we have a very special guest, friend of the pod, return guest, technology prognosticator and analyst extraordinaire Benedict Evans is on the show. Longtime

listeners will be familiar with Benedict. He's been on the show. Gosh, at least this would be

at least his third time. He's one of the most incisive folks in the tech world. He was at

Andreessen Horowitz for many years out here. Then he returned to the UK these days. He's one of the most incisive folks in the tech world. He was at Andresen Horowitz for many years out here.

Then he returned to the UK these days.

He's back in London.
