Episode description
What kernels of truth are there in sci-fi content today that can maybe predict what our smart technological futures will look like?
This week, Jess and Joey talk about retrofuturism, the Otis elevator, all things Dymaxian, AI, post-scarcity society and ship names. They don’t talk about our dystopian present.
