Five, four, three, two, one. on.

Hello and welcome to Into the Impossible. Hello and welcome to Into the Impossible.

A podcast about how we imagine and how what we imagine shapes what we do.

From the Arthur C. Clark Center for Human Imagination at UC San Diego.

I'm Patrick Coleman and today we're diving into the ways in which our technology is changing our humanity and what we can do about it with Antonio Garcia Martinez and Douglas Rushkof.

Antonio is the author of Chaos Monkeys,

obscene fortune and random failure in Silicon Valley,

which chronicles his turn away from a PhD in physics

to Wall Street trading a stint at the Y

combinator, and then being on the ground floor of Facebook's first

advertising forays, with all the chaos along the way. Douglas is the celebrated writer of numerous books and documentaries on the relationship

between technology and society,

most recently throwing rocks at the Google Bus,

and he's also the host of the

fantastic podcast, Team Human. Be sure to check it out. First up, our associate director

Brian Keating in conversation with Antonio, followed by his interview with Douglas Rushkov.

Enjoy.

And Antonio is visiting UC San Diego and the Clark Center

on a part combination tour and also discussion of what life is like outside of science.

So before we are outside of the physical sciences where he began his career as a physics grad student at our sister

campus, UC Berkeley, more than a decade ago.
