Description

A conversation about what's next for humanity with David Friedman, professor of law at Santa Clara University and author of the classic work of 20th-century political philosophy The Machinery of Freedom. In his new book, Future Imperfect: Technology and Freedom in an Uncertain World,
Friedman explores the law, the economics and the very sensory
experience of a host of possible futures through the technologies
likely to shape them, including universal surveillance, e-cash,
designer kids, advanced encryption and nanotechnology. [download] [MOI home] [MOI archive]
