Robert J. Sawyer on Quantum Night: There is nothing inherently unknowable

About 4 1/2 years ago I interviewed Robert J. Sawyer on his fantastic non-dystopian AI trilogy WWW. To this day people keep telling me it is one of my very best interviews ever. Unfortunately last time we spoke via Skype and had a pretty bad video connection. So I vowed to myself that next time I will make sure we have the best possible quality of production I can deliver. And here we are today with my first cinema-wide 4k interview ever, which we shot at Robert J. Sawyer’s penthouse. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. During our 60 min discussion with Robert J. Sawyer we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: what Quantum Night is all about; the Philosopher’s Zombie phenomenon and the Penrose-Hameroff Orch OR Quantum Theory of Consciousness; why he keeps situating his novels in Canada; why good science fiction is about ethics and social commentary; the 2018 bicentennial anniversary science fiction party… My favorite quotes that I will take away from this interview with Robert J. Sawyer are: Canada is “the bridge of the Enterprise writ large.” “There is nothing inherently unknowable.” You can watch my full interview here: https://www.singularityweblog.com/robert-j-sawyer-quantum-night/
