Self-driving cars, designer babies, and 3D printed guns are no longer looming in the distant future: the future has arrived, and so has a tidal wave of technological innovation. On Tech Tmrw, we do a deep dive into the possible pros and cons of today’s innovations. We open each episode with a short-form science-fiction narrative exploring a hot topic in tech. Then, host Theo Miller, CEO and Founder of Hit Start Media, has an open conversation with the writers, technologists, and others who are most immersed in this new technology to investigate its consequences.
