The Sci Fi Eye
We live in a hyper-technological era. We read sci fi. We know how it goes; How technology alters the very fabric of society. Shall we leave the news, the analysis, life, universe etc., to those puny muggles, who can't even recite the 3 laws of robotics, so they would never ask - will autonomous cars follow them, or merely protect their owner?Who can't look at Facebook's attempt on creating the first major non-governmental currency and identify exactly in what kind of SF we're living, and what are the possible endings? Stars no. We look at the world with the Sci Fi Eye. And we podcast about it.

In our pilot special, we start with an app that tells you it's improving your photo but actually creates a new photo that is almost - but not entirely - like the one you took. And we end up proving how Science Fiction acts as an immune system for our society, and why we can trust absolutely nothing. Well, nothing but Sci Fi.
How did we get there?
Time to listen and find out!
