Episode #9: Esther Dyson on Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and Spike Jonze’s Her

Esther Dyson, whose bio defies summarization (and who happens to be sister of previous guest George Dyson), discusses Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and Spike Jonze’s Her. We discuss the substance of life, bioethics, why our senses aren’t always reliable, institutions and culture, predatory business models, child labor, mortality, building communities, and gardening versus carpentry.
