Ramez Naam on Apex, Science, Politics and Ethics

This is my fourth interview with Ramez Naam and the reason for that is simple: Ramez is a cool, smart guy, who writes kick-ass, gritty, action-packed and scientifically compelling science fiction novels as well as being a researcher and expert in a variety of other fields such as human enhancement, the environment and energy. And so I am always happy to have him back on Singularity 1on1 both because he is fun to talk to but also because I always learn something new from him. During our 60 min conversation with Ramez Naam we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: his latest novel Apex; writing dystopian vs utopian science fiction; science, politics, ethics and freedom; naming a character after me in his next book; the science behind Apex and skeptics such as Nicolelis and Picurel; brain simulation and the collapse of the Human Brain Project; technological unemployment… To watch the video interview click here: https://www.singularityweblog.com/ramez-naam-apex/
