    Descendant Machine with Gareth L. Powell

    We're sipping a San Diego Sunset while we explore the far reaches of space in this sci-fi episode with special guest, author Gareth L. Powell. Robyn and I have followed Gareth on social for a while now, so it was a real pleasure to chat with him about his latest book. And what a great read it is! Chock full of all the things we love about sci-fi—futuristic tech, relatable characters, exploration, and intelligent spaceships. We especially enjoyed our discussion with Gareth about his take on AI—we think he just coined a new term. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
