In this wide-ranging discussion we talk about John's new book, the prison-industrial system, how AI will affect patent law, how to get out of traffic tickets, and the potential of the legal concept of "corporate personhood" one day being applied to AI.

We speak with acclaimed science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer about his new novel, "The Downloaded."

The discussion ranges from the state of science fiction to reflections on Robert’s personal experiences and the broader societal implications influencing his work. We cover the development of “The Downloaded”, which was shaped by pandemic-related production challenges.

We talk to Robert about how "The Downloaded" touches on complex issues like justice reform, societal surveillance, and human responsibility in the face of disaster, and how this novel may be his last.
