Episode Synopsis

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. references Christmas in Connecticut Otis Elevator Dymaxion Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson Corrections Department: Neuromancer by William Gibson Iain M.
