A very special and very published guest joins Mory and Melissa today: Blaise Agüera y Arcas, CTO of Tech and Society at Google and author of the book Who Are We Now?. Mory and Melissa pepper Blaise with questions about his approach to his book (well, or Mory asks, while Melissa gapes open-mouthedly). The breadth of material under Blaise’s belt is nothing short of impressive: from the demographic divide between urban and rural, to monogamy as a form of social control, to human symbiosis with artificial intelligence. Combining graphs upon graphs with a compelling narrative, Blaise gives insight into the process of creating Who Are We Now? and its attempt to answer the questions: What makes human identity? And what drives us apart?
