Do you get the Discovery Channel? If so, tune in Monday night -- TONIGHT! -- at 9pm Eastern and Pacific Time (8pm Central, 7pm Mountain) for a special program called Apocalypse How. I was interviewed extensively for the show and was told that CRN's ideas are featured in it.
If you get a chance to watch the 2-hour show, please tell us what you think about it!
POST-SHOW UPDATE: Well, I was pleased to get as much screen time as I did, but I was not very happy the way my segment was edited. As you might expect, I spent most of the two hours that I was interviewed talking about realistic near-term risks of molecular manufacturing, concentrating mostly on a nanotech arms race.
At the end of that discussion they asked me to say something about grey goo. I did so, reluctantly, but I emphasized that the dangers from non-replicating nano-built weaponry are more imminent, more likely, and maybe more severe. Of course, when they cut the whole thing together, it gave the impression, I think, that grey goo is a far greater threat than CRN judges it to be.
