How will this affect the human race? Where does virtual reality fit into this scenario? Linda and I discuss the ramifications of a robot-filled future, as well as several other topics including biological EMP's, Jack Parsons, the Astral Plane, using other dimensions for interstellar travel, and the collapse of Earth's magnetic field. Plus did you know Linda has two cats named Fluffy and Chocolate? We pack a lot into this 30 minute episode.
