Authors@Google: David Friedman

David Friedman visits Google to discuss his new book "Future Imperfect: Technology and Freedom in an Uncertain World."

In his new work Friedman considers a variety of technological revolutions that could take place over the next 20 years and their implications. If dead could be brought alive, genes of the unborn could be picked and matched to a perfect combination, and robotic flies are the future of surveillance cameras, then what does this all mean for the traditional values and ideals our society is based on? Our passive consumption of evolving technology could lead to more or less privacy than we have ever known, freedom or slavery, effective immortality and radical changes in life, marriage, law, medicine, work, and play.
