Show Notes

While we talk about emerging technologies plenty on this show, we also make time to discuss things as human as deception - so I thought Abby Ellin would be the perfect person to join us. 

Abby is an author and journalist who recently wrote Duped: Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married, she writes regularly for The New York Times, and has contributed to Time, Newsweek, and The Daily Beast, among other publications. Today we discuss the nature of deception, why we lie, fake news, deepfakes, and whether or not truth is going to be harder to come by in the future.
