Summary

I joke at the beginning of the episode that James wrote the best book I read this year that I didn’t write. But actually, it’s true.

Ways of Being is an excellent book that toils in many of the same vineyards as Ani.Mystic. So James and I discuss our notions of technology, artificial intelligence, publishing, language and how these all interrelate and are interdependent.

We also have an excellent discussion on the true significance of randomness as well as speculating on political and technological futures.

Enjoy!
