The man who wrote the original blueprint for mind uploading on what comes after Homo sapiens.Anders Sandberg, futurist, transhumanist, former Senior Research Fellow at Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, and author of the forthcoming Law, Liberty and Leviathan: Human Autonomy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, joins us for one of the widest-ranging conversations the show has ever recorded.

This is a tour through the next thousand years. Anders pulls in memory palaces and atomic clocks, fruit-fly connectomes and Kuiper Belt city-states, drone warfare and Dracula's boredom, AI agents as "fallen angels" of your conscience, and what happens to marriage when both spouses can copy themselves.
