We discussed a number of things including: 1. Psychology and worldview of computer programmers 2. Beneficial ways technology has affected our cognition 3. How tech is helping and hurting society 4. Technology and the election I'm a computer geek from way back. I got interested in them as a child in the early 80s in Toronto, when machines like the Commodore 64 arrived. My parents wouldn't get our family a computer (my mother worried I'd just “sit around playing games all the time”), but I devoured every book of BASIC programming I could find at the library, and whenever I could cadge some time on a computer at school or a friend's house, I'd try to do some programming. I created little games, databases, primitive chatbots, digital music, and gradually realized that computers were going to change everything. In high school, though, I decided I wanted to be a journalist. I studied English and political science at the University of Toronto, and after graduating in 1992 I worked as a street musician, a receptionist for a driving school, a bookkeeper, and an administrative cog for the League of Canadian Poets (the country's most awesomely-named literary organization) — before deciding to become a freelance magazine writer. This was around the time the Internet hit the mainstream, so I began writing long pieces about how it was changing politics, shopping, art, culture, and everything in between. In the late 90s I moved to New York and began writing for magazines including the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Fast Company, New York, Mother Jones and Smithsonian. My work has won several awards, including an Overseas Press Council Award, a Mirror Award, and in 2002/2003 I was a Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT. My most recent books include Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World, and Smarter Than You Think: How Technology Is Changing Our Minds for the Better. In my spare time I write, record, and perform music in the band The Delorean Sisters.

Clive Thompson is the author of Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World, a longtime contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine and a columnist for Wired. Today, Thompson is one of the most prominent technology writers--respected for keeping his distance from Silicon Valley hype and doing deeply-reported, long-form magazine stories that get beyond headlines and harness the insights of science, literature, history and philosophy. In addition to the New York Times Magazine and Wired, he's a columnist for Smithsonian Magazine, writing about the history of technology, and writes features for Mother Jones. His journalism has won many awards -- including an Overseas Press Council Award and a Mirror Award -- and he's a former Knight Science Journalism Fellow. In his spare time he's also a recording and performing artist with the country/bluegrass band The Delorean Sisters.

"It’s also telling that I’m not a trained journalist.  I have a degree in screenwriting from NYU. The highest priority when I’m writing is on storytelling, not voice, but storytelling.  That’s my business.  Voice comes easily to me because it’s easy for me to write how I sound.  And structure is the thing that I think about the most.  ‘What is the beginning, middle, and end of this?’ " Loved the soap opera Santa Barbara, and got a job at a Soap Opera publication Worked at Mediabistro in Los Angeles PTSD from giving birth "Moving Swift-ly on?

I had fun talking to my favorite intellectual, my friend Eric Alterman (who claims that he doesn't believe in God) about his Torah studies and the meaning of life and liberalism. Eric is The Liberal Media columnist for The Nation and the author of ten books, including most recently Inequality and One City: Bill de Blasio and the New York Experiment, Year One), and The Cause: The Fight for American Liberalism from Franklin Roosevelt to Barack Obama. I first met him a decade ago after reading his still relevant What Liberal Media? and we soon developed the start of friendship which revolved a lot around talking about the meaning of life but I still learned a lot via the alchemy and formality of doing a podcast with him. Eric is also a music freak who wrote the book Ain't No Sin to be Glad You're Alive: The Promise of Bruce Springsteen and is a Distinguished Professor of English and Journalism at Brooklyn College and CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, He has also been the winner of the George Orwell Award, the Jack London Literary Prize and the Mirror Award for media criticism, and has been a Hoover Institution Media Fellow at Stanford University.
