This week we were fortunate to have a super special guest, Amy Salley, who hails from the podcast Hugo Girl. Amy agreed to come on the show to talk to us about depictions of software in science fiction and we discussed works such as:

• A recently published short story by Naomi Kritzer called "Better Living Through Algorithms" (read it here).
• 2001: A Space Odyssey the 1968 Kubrick film
• War Games the 1983 film
• Neuromancer by William Gibson
