Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
One day, we may rely on robots to clean our houses, explore deep space, even perform surgery. It’s a brave new world that fascinated writer Lee Gutkind, who spent years with scientists doing cutting-edge robotics at Carnegie Mellon University. We hear why he’s nervous about our robotic future and also talk to him about how technology is changing his own field — creative nonfiction.
Guests
- Lee Gutkind Author of Almost Human: Making Robots Think (Norton); founder & editor, Creative Nonfiction: a Literary Journal; and editor of "The Best Creative Nonfiction: Vol. 1" (Norton)
