Gaming the Future: Technologies for Intelligent Voluntary Cooperation
David Brin is best-known for shining light on technology, society, and countless challenges confronting our rambunctious civilization.
His best-selling novels include The Postman (filmed in 1997) plus explorations of our near-future in Earth and Existence. Other novels are translated into 25+ languages. His short stories explore vividly speculative ideas. Brin’s nonfiction book The Transparent Society won the American Library Association’s Freedom of Speech Award for exploring 21st-century concerns about security, secrecy, accountability, and privacy.
This episode is a discussion on chapter 7 of the book: DEFEND AGAINST PHYSICAL THREATS | Multipolar Active Shields
Session summary: David Brin: Defend Against Physical Threats – Multipolar Active Shields | Gaming the Future Ch. 7 - Foresight Institute
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1987 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support.
Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Institute. She directs the Intelligent Cooperation, Molecular Machines, Biotech & Health Extension, Neurotech, and Space Programs, Fellowships, Prizes, and Tech Trees, and shares this work with the public. She founded Existentialhope.com, co-edited Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy, co-authored Gaming the Future, and co-initiated The Longevity Prize.
