Welcome to the Implausipod!  I'm your host Dr Implausible.  In this episode, we offer a brief introduction, and then discuss some of the broader themes of arising out of Season 4, Episode 2 of HBO's "Westworld" series, originally airing on 2022-07-03.  We offer a quick comparison with Jonathan Nolan's earlier work and cyberpunk science fiction, before looking at the some basic concepts of emergence that are appearing in, and may have had an influence on, the show.  

Finally, in the interest of brevity and maintaining momentum, we'll lay out a quick guide to the future of this podcast.  We're aiming for the first "arc" to run parallel to season 4 of the show, after which we will turn to some related materials that are linked to our larger project.

Thanks for joining us, we're glad to have you with us.
