THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 527: COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE: What Does Sci-Fi Tell Us About Our Present? w/Dr. Michael Harris

During the early days of the race to the moon, American cinema was filled with visions of a bright future of flying cars and a less reliance on fossil fuels. Electric everything, and robot servants. After the moon landing why has the depiction of the future been one of corporatocracy?   From Blade Runner, to Terminator, the rise of machines and machine learning is no longer the future of leisure and entertainment but one of nightmares. Our guest Micheal Harris has a new book out that tells us how science fiction isn’t simply predicting the future, but using the idea of the future to warn us about our now.   Get Dr. Harris' Book here: https://a.co/d/gLWafTq   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
