Messages from Another World: The Shadow Out of Time and the Future of the Mind
Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee is an academic who is besieged by visions of dead worlds and alien cities. He is possessed by the long-dead alien race of Yith. H. P. Lovecraft is only horrified by visions from another time and place and altered states of consciousness, but how can we get good out of the natural technologies that give similar experiences? How will cultures of the future treat substances that alter the mind? What can we learn from the way we’ve treated them before? Do we have any responsibility to push the limits of human experience and definitions of knowledge?
My guests for this episode are my committee members, Andrew Maynard and Lauren Withycombe-Keeler. Andrew Maynard is a professor, scientist, expert in emerging technologies and their socially responsible development and use, and author of Films from the Future: The Technology and Morality of Sci-Fi Movies.
Professor Keeler studies how different people with different professional responsibilities understand and make sense of the future and how futures are created through professional practice. She creates and utilizes foresight methods to anticipate the future impacts of emerging technologies, policies and other interventions on organizations, communities and cities.

Foods Out of Space: The Colour Out of Space and the Future of Food
The color diffuses out from the meteor, and gets in everything in the farm. The animals go mad, the crops grow to massive size, but taste poor and ultimately turn to ash. How do the effects of the Colour out of Space echo modern farming practices, with genetically modified crops, pesticide use, and monocropping? How do we continue to isolate ourselves from our food? What will the future dinner table be like (if there is one)? What aspects of food can we use to bring people, nature, and good closer together?
My guest, Christy Spackman is an Assistant Professor, jointly appointed between the School for the Future of Innovation in Society, and the Arts, Media, and Engineering Departments at Arizona State University. She "thinks about the ways that the body’s smell or taste functions in the world, how technology and science are always shaping those information streams and what that means for our relationships with each other and with the environment."

Colors Out of Very Small Space: The Colour Out of Space and Nanotechnology
A meteor crashes into the Gardner farm, and its properties and light emissions absolutely baffle the public and the scientific community alike, its runoff turning the ground sour. Nanotechnology, similarly, provides us with exciting new materials that we struggle to understand, thinking outside of a scale most of us our used to. What can nanotechnology tell us about how innovations are made, or how to design technology?
My guest, James Wetmore is an associate professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and co-director of the Center for Engagement and Training in Science and Society at Arizona State University. His work combines the fields of science and technology studies, ethics, and public policy in order to better understand both the interconnected relationships between technology and society and the forces that change those relationships over time.

A Fate Worse Than Death?: Herbert West: Re-Animator and the Future of Life and Un-Life
Herbert West is a bright medical student with a dark future. He has created a serum that can reanimate corpses. Whether their identity or sanity are intact, however, is another story. Herbert West: Re-Animator allows us to question the reasoning behind wanting to live forever, or, spookier still, having death be a temporary state. Will humanity ever be able to create a semblance of immortality through computers? Would an AI programmed to mimic you as you lived still be you? What sorts of promises and perils lie in people never being able to die? Who will control death?
My guests for this episode are my committee members, Andrew Maynard and Lauren Withycombe-Keeler. Andrew Maynard is a professor, scientist, expert in emerging technologies and their socially responsible development and use, and author of Films from the Future: The Technology and Morality of Sci-Fi Movies.
Professor Keeler studies how different people with different professional responsibilities understand and make sense of the future and how futures are created through professional practice.

Not Just a Meat Suit: The Thing on the Doorstep and the Future of Sex and Gender in a Robotic World
Edward Derby is behaving strangely, in large part because his wife keeps switching bodies with him. Now, new VR technology and experiments shows us that men and women may be able to feel as though they’ve switched bodies. If technology allows us to begin treating ourselves as logical constructs riding around in a meat vehicle, how will this affect a future in which digital connectivity changes the way people interact? How will our ability to imbue a semblance of life to robots purely for sexual relationships affect how we continue to treat real people? Will people from the future even leave their homes to interact with others?
Jessica Rajko is joining me this episode, she is a professor at Arizona State University's School of Film, Dance and Theater. Her current work investigates the ethical and corporeal implications of big data and the quantified self. Jessica is a founding co-director of the ASU Human Security Collaboratory and is affiliated with the Arts, Media and Engineering Synthesis Center as a collaborative researcher/artist. She serves on the steering committee for the PAVE Program in arts entrepreneurship and is the mentor for the dance MFA in Interdisciplinary Digital Media and Performance.
