Episode Synopsis
What if the wildest ideas in science fiction weren’t fiction at all?
In this episode of Unboxed, we sit down with award-winning author and futurist David Brin to explore the powerful intersection of imagination and innovation. From artificial intelligence to the ethics of surveillance, Brin unpacks how speculative storytelling can shape — and sometimes predict — the future of our world.
