Adam Becker is an author and astrophysicist whose latest book - More Everything Forever: AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley's Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity - is about "the terrible plans that tech billionaires have for the future and why they don’t work." In it, Becker breaks down why we will not be colonizing Mars or creating machines with so-called superintelligence any time soon, and lays out how all of tech's futuristic claims are really just about consolidating money and power.

Becker will be joined by Librarian Ian Hetzner for a discussion of More Everything Forever, how tech is manipulating our future for the worse, and what we can do about it.
