Greetings, Listener! Welcome (back) to The Speakeasy!
In this episode we had a wonderful conversation with American Science Fiction author Ray Nayler, whose debut novel "The Mountain in the Sea". As expected, the discussion easily moved between the book and the greater themes relevant not only to it but to our lives in general. We talked about language & learning, the mind & creativity, and perhaps the misplaced or unearned labels surrounding "Artificial Intelligence" and/or "machine learning". Not to mention the continued intersection of faith & science. As always, I hope you enjoy the show!
As before, several key names came up during our chat, which I wanted to highlight in case anyone want to investigate further on their own. I certainly will be doing some extra reading, I suspect. Cheers!
