Description

With the growth of technological innovations increasing exponentially, what effect is it having on the two major features of the human experience, work and death? Influenced by both Ray Kurzweil and Guy Debord, our two directors seek out 17 international scientists, engineers and academic to share their thoughts on whether advanced automation, AI, and a technological singularity could be achievable in the next 30 years. How job obsolescence and technological unemployment could consequently occur and how digital immortality may not be a thing of science fiction.
