This week we speak to author John Higgs about the singular oddness that was the twentieth century -the century that gave us space travel, nuclear weapons, the internet, existentialism, quantum theory, chaos mathematics, some fairly impressive genocide events and the greatest material lift in quality of life for the most people ever.
Along the way we talk about Timothy Leary and the counterculture, meeting Robert Anton Wilson, Alan Moore's Fossil Angels and the shortcomings of transhumanism.
Very good times.
