Enter a simulated universe where software beings engage in classic human struggles for belonging, status, and attention, and old certainties like death and gravity are just settings to be negotiated. You can be the god of your own private world, but if find yourself feeling lonely, you might be tempted to give away some of your precious control. This podcast will take you behind the scenes with comic book authors and veteran podcasters Jon Perry (@perryjon) and Ted Kupper (@tedkupper) as they write and develop a science fiction graphic novel called Constellation, set in a metaverse unlike any you’ve seen before: neither a utopia nor a dystopia, neither real nor virtual, it is a simulation where everyone knows they are being simulated and no one much cares, where there’s no hope of leaving and no reason to, just an endless supply of human-designed worlds to create and explore.

What the Future
This is a really good podcast for pondering the future. They go in detail to quite a few topics and they always have them pretty well researched. It's always fun to think about what the future might be like and I like podcasts that go into some of the implications of things we think of just sci-fi. Love it.
Possibly the worst
They couldn’t be bothered to explain quantum computing and the episodes sound like they are based on a few hours of google searches with little to no actual analysis. If you’re looking for summaries of Medium articles with zero personality this is the podcast for you.
Just the best in the genre
Thoughtful, intelligent conversation about emerging technology and its effect on society. Enlightening and entertaining. I hope these guys continue this podcast for a long time.
