S1 Ep53: George Dyson - The Entangled Destinies of Nature, Humans and Machines
George Dyson, the world-renowned author of several science histories such as Turing's Cathedral, was born into science royalty: His father Freeman Dyson was a hugely influential theoretical physicist who, among many projects and concepts that take his name, helped to make space travel possible, whilst his mother Verena Huber-Dyson was a brilliant mathematician in her own right, well-known for her work on group theory and formal logic. This amazing new work is a truly original, memorable and insightful look at human beings, technology and nature, challenging the notion that computing is the dominant power on planet earth.
