And digital currency. This is just under 2 1 2 hours. Hello. Thanks for having me. My name is adam piore, and im glad to be here. Im here to talk about my book, the bodybuilders inside the science of the engineered human, and some of the trends that i reviewed. Its funny to be here, because i left d. C. I used to cover im a journalist. I used to cover capitol hill. About 20 years ago i left and said i was never coming back. And actually, i covered congress for a newspaper in new jersey, and i left in the middle of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. My job was to stand off the house floor and ask every congressman what they thought of the days news. So, i quit my job and i went about as far away as i could go, and i moved to the country of cambodia. And i spent a year and a half there reporting on events there, and it was an amazing experience. People were the country was emerging from 30 years of civil war, from a genocide in which one in four people died of murder, starvation, and disease.

D. C. , theres a lot of data there and information bush to be seeing peoples lives and how they bounce back, it started to change the way i looked at journalism and what i wanted do. And when i came back, i wanted to write more about the theme of human resilience and i found that in the United States, some of the most exciting stories of human resilience are being unleashed by technology. Thats what my book is about engineering. My presentation is less data driven than some of the stuff. What i tried to do is put some of trends
He is a frequent radio and television on to discuss his latest, rise of the robots sub to technology and the threat of a jobless future about the future work in the world in which the number of jobs can be handed over to technology.

The longterm consequences of the inevitable rise of the machines will be the topic of tonights lecture so pleased i may in a very autistic enthusiastic welcome for our friend martin ford. A.
