1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 This episode, Jason and Chad tumble into a memetic wormhole when exploring a cryptozoological science fiction piece called &quot;And Whether Pigs Have Wings&quot; by Nancy Kress, and are saved by their virtual assistant. We also feature a short clip of our upcoming interview with Brian Dowtin, who is a computer scientist working on some of the whys and hows of technology. Brian picked an Omni interview between Bob Guccione and futurist Alvin Toffler, who wrote Future Shock. We’ll connect a lot of dots between Brian’s work and this prescient voice of future past as we take a nostalgic Big Trak journey into the collective hallucination we call childhood.
