Hello Adam.
Hey Joe.
How are you? What's going on?
Yeah, not too bad, thanks. Not much happening. Just the pandemic.
I really enjoyed your book, man. It's terrifying and accurate and irresistible.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
When you write a book like that, I mean first of all the irony is not lost on me,
that we're doing an electronic show about avoiding electronics.
Like it's so much of a part of our life, our addiction to all these devices and games
and applications and all these different things, but yet we use them constantly.
It's such a weird balancing act, isn't it?
Yeah, it is a weird balancing act. I think a lot of people who write about this stuff
and think about it really just focus on all the negatives.
There are obviously massive positives.
This is a time when we're being forced to physically distance ourselves from other people
and yet we are incredibly lucky to be able to carry on conversations like this,
to be able to connect to other people through screens.
