Episode 7: The History (and Future) of Technology, with Susannah Glickman

This week, Adam talks with historian Susannah Glickman about the recent history of how we think about the future of technology, and why we have more power over that future than we might think.

Along the way, they talk about AI, Moore's Law, quantum computers, a rocket-ships-and-chrome vision of the future, the problems with the "Great Man" theory of history, the most important physicist you've never heard of, and many, many other things — more than usual, even for this show.

It's a wild ride this week!
