Coming up on Stark Talk's special edition. This one is on addiction.

And we have as our special guest Anna Lemke. She's a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University.

And we discuss social media. Is that a dicting? If it is, how does it addictus?

We also talk about other emergent modern addictions like gambling. We always known it was out there,

but now it seems to be more prevalent than ever. We talk about the science of dopamine.

How it works in what parts of your brain and can we control it? Should we control it?

Why is it there at all? Where did it come from evolutionarily? All that and more on Stark Talk.

Coming up.

Welcome to Stark Talk. Your place in the universe where science and pop culture collide.

Stark Talk begins right now.

Hey everybody, Neil deGrasse Tyson here.

And I'm Lindsay Nyx Walker. And Neil and I, we just co-authored a brand new Stark Talk book,

and it's coming out very soon.

Yeah, this is the third in a series of collaborations with National Geographic Books.

And this one is titled To Infinity and Beyond.

And it's available for pre-order from the Stark Talk website, starttalkmedia.com,

slash books. If you pre-order it, you gain access to a live stream that Lindsay Walker and I

will do from this office. And you have the occasion to submit questions that we will answer.

Yep, that's right. So if they go to starttalkmedia.com slash books,

they can pre-order and ask us their query. Whatever they want. I mean,

I know that Stark Talk fans can ask some really fun off the wall questions,

so I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with here.
