He examines A.I.’s potential to become like us and the ways it will transform humanity by redefining love and relationships; expanding the boundaries of creativity and intelligence; recalibrating the international balance of power; and testing the limits of ethics, morality and spirituality.

Off the coast of California lies a shipwreck like no other: a flying aircraft carrier. The Navy’s U.S.S. Macon flew in the 1930’s, the golden age of airships, and was able to both launch and recover airplanes.
