What this episode covers

This week, SFI Research Fellow Tony Eagan enters the Zone in pursuit of an object that might not change human technology, but rather the ways in which we might consider our extraterrestrial comrades. Tony's research focuses on Aesthetics and Epistemology, and this conversation runs the gamut between myth, hope, fate and determinism, art, and what art resolves for the artist. We also talk at length about Roadside Picnic and Stalker, the two works that most influence and inspire this series.
