Interesting interview.
I don’t want to “be that guy” either, referencing Jennifer’s story about Dukakis. I once saw Robin Williams playing with a little girl in a part next to the American Museum of Natural History one day.
I didn’t even dare to go over and introduce myself…
I liked the kindle sample. Reminds me of Octavia Butler. Not a happy book. 🙂
This was a very interesting interview. I’d never thought much about body hacks. It makes me wonder about the other implications. Can you separate your personality from the biology of your brain? What about mental illness? Can you upgrade your personality? All interesting questions.
