Anthony McCarten, Going Zero

The brilliant New Zealand writer and Four-Time Academy Award Nominated filmmaker, Anthony McCarten, dives down deep with BOOKSTORM PODCAST into his new novel, Going Zero! Is the “every-person” sometimes underestimated? What would we do if we were challenged to go off-grid and hide? Do we all possess a level of cunning and heroism we don’t know we have? What are the powers and weaknesses of Artificial Intelligence v. human beings? Let’s talk about Chat Bot--original or just delivering the most obvious results? Humans, however, are driven by the emotion, irrational, unpredictable and creative! Chat bots will never be Einstein, or Picasso or Tolstoy! Are we in the midst of a slow encroachment of technology, unregulated surveillance and covert influence? Do we have any real privacy remaining? Cyber worlds, virtual reality v. the importance of real-world, human experience and connection. Join the discussion! You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast!
