Bostrom and Brin on the BBC




March 19, 2007

In this special edition of Culture Shock presenter Ed Butler is joined by the director of the Future of Humanity Institute based at Oxford University, Dr Nick Bostrom. Together they discuss the latest trends and ideas that aim to ensure the survival of our civilisation. If the worst came to the worst, we hear how the so-called Doomsday vault in Norway, an international seed bank, would help humanity reconstruct agriculture on the planet; how Microsoft’s immortal computing would ensure all valuable human information is safely preserved and transmitted to future generations; and find out whether the messages recently sent out into space might get us help from afar.
