Commercial technology is advancing so rapidly that “the future” we see in science fiction is, for the most part, already here. Hosts Dan Dillard and Zach Walker sit down with August Cole, author of the best-selling futuristic warfare novels Ghost Fleet and Burn-In. What’s most impressive about his books is that all the technology he features either already exists or is in development. Through the lens of his latest book, Burn-In, Cole shows how the robotic revolution is happening as we speak and fundamentally changing the future of warfare.
