A couple of weeks ago, during the last Transhumanist Meetup in Toronto, I did a Conversations with the Future book reading. Basically, I read my book’s foreword – the story of how I got to do what I do, as well as the book introduction – what my book is all about, and the epilogue – what people should take away from it.

This event would not have happened without the great work of David McFadzean and Agah Bahari as well as the meetup space provided by Rangle.IO. Finally, I owe a debt of gratitude to Dave Gibson and Billy Jimmy Lee, who took great videos and pictures respectively that I can now share with people like you. Hope you enjoy it.

As always you can listen to or download the audio file above or scroll down and watch the video interview in full. To show your support you can write a review on iTunesmake a direct donation , or become a patron on Patreon.

The 45 min book reading was followed by a Q&A session where I was asked to talk about my favorite interview, on asking good questions, how and why Singularity.FM stands out from TV interviews, why politics is the future of technology, new economic models and why technology is not enough.
