Ari reads a short story by David Brin. "The Logs" stars a young Russian girl who comes to terms with her life on an asteroid work camp. Brin's style mixes moments of levity with themes of perseverance and struggle. We are faced with the question: is any possible future just a recapitulation of the past? And how can we use those lessons gleaned from the past to endure?

David Brin - Hearsay Culture Show #245 - KZSU-FM (Stanford)
I'm pleased to post Show # 245, October 9, my interview with author David Brin, on transparency, reciprocal accountability, cyber-utopianism and the preservation of excitement in an age of cynicism. David was an early guest on Hearsay Culture, having been on show # 30 back in early 2007 discussing his now-classic Transparent Society. In the intervening eight years, our sense of utopianism has continued to wane, even as technology's ability to positively confront the world's ills has improved. David's prolific writings on this and other topics was the subject of our far-ranging discussion, from transparency today to how to teach children to maintain energy and optimism...

David Brin | The Future, Sousveillance, Privacy and the Transparent Society | Part 1 of 2
David Brin discussed how 2014 might be the real start of the 21st Century and how the planet may be on the cusp of a brighter future. He noted that, in the last 60 years, violence has "plummeted every decade," despite how it is portrayed in the media. In fact, he argued that the relentless depiction of violence, as well as poverty, has fueled the public to "feel bad" about these issues and take steps to improve them. He also credited the sacrifices of the "Greatest Generation" for helping to create the wealth which allowed subsequent generations to be able to focus...
