Episode 251: SF Radio 12.01 Tron: ARES and Life on the Grid

Welcome (back) to the Grid. Directed by Joachim Ronning, Tron: Ares returns to ENCOM as the race for AI is on. A lot has happened in the 15 years after the events of Tron: Legacy. ENCOM is now under new leadership and they are in the fight for their lives with Dillinger Systems as both search feverishly for Flynn's fabled 'permanence' code. However, just as ENCOM seems on the verge of a major breakthrough, Dillinger unleashes Ares (Jared Leto), a new breed of AI soldier, to collect the information for themselves. However, Ares isn't so sure that his user is worth following, causing the bot to question his own existence. This week, Dave Voigt and Timothy Rideout step into the mainframe to talk about Tron, tech and what makes us human.
