Kevin Bullock joins us to discuss the sublime first season of Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus. Yes, TV is a “text,” especially when Vince Gilligan is making it. We talk about individual morality, the ethics of science, AI, human nature, selfhood and memory, and ghosts. Inexplicably, we do not talk about HDP.
