--------------------------

NYC Subway's Broadway-Lafayette station is now full of apparently eugenicist ads for an IVF and genetic testing company called Nucleus. We're talking about it, plus:

  • The parallels between Balaji Srinivasan's ideas and the novels of Neal Stephenson
  • Other sci-fi that predicts other futures
  • Electrical engineers and why they're Like That
