David Brin: Living in the Transparent Society

David Brin, American scientist and award-winning author of science fiction, has received the Hugo, Locus, Campbell and Nebula Awards. Jay Ackroyd talks with Brin about Brin's prescient and still relevant, book The Transparent Society. Cop cams, selfies, the evolution of embarrassment and the need for reciprocity from state actors.  We'll also fit in a brief discussion of SETI--and whether it's a good idea to shout out our presence to aliens.
