There's no shortage of tech podcasts, but few give you a true dose of the future.

The A16Z podcast is an exception.

It takes you straight to the innovators behind new materials, data centers, self-driving cars,

even electric boats, eavesdrop on the future with the A16Z podcast.

HBR presents.

Hi there, I'm Azim Azar, and you're listening to the exponential view podcast.

Now, every week I come together with a brilliant mind to explore how exponential technologies

are shaping our near future.

Before we get started, tiny reminder, my first book comes out in September this year,

and I am sure that assistance to this podcast, you are going to love it.

So please go and find out your local bookstore or online retailer and place a pre-order today.

The book is called The Exponential Age, if you're in the United States or Canada,

and simply exponential if you're in any other part of the world.

Please look it up, The Exponential Age, or Exponential by Azim Azar.

I would love you to be one of the first people to read it.

Now, my guess this week is Bruce Schneier, a leading expert on all aspects of computer and internet security.

He is a New York Times bestselling author of 14 books, including Click Here to Kill Everybody.

He's a fellow at the Cyber Project in the Belfer Center of Science and International Affairs

at the Harvard Kennedy School and a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society

at Harvard University.

In between all of those commitments, Bruce has found some time to speak to me.

Bruce, welcome to Exponential View.
