Episode description

Have you seen the classic movie Blade Runner? Philip K Dick was the quirky writer of sci-fi novels, and the author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Imagine what it would be like to encounter the robotic-artificial intelligence reincarnation of PK Dick. This was the product of a collaboration between robotocists and AI researchers in 2005 when they built the animated replica. Unfortunately it was left in  the luggage locker on a US domestic flight, and has not been seen since. Today on Fuzzy we interview David Dufty, author of Lost in Transit, The strange story of the Philip K Dick android. Recommended as an excellent read from another great guest on Fuzzy Logic. Hosted by Rod.
