Martin Hamilton - Librarians in Outer Space - CILIP invited talk
Let’s play: Utopia or dystopia?
Martin Hamilton - Librarians in Outer Space - CILIP invited talk
1. Driverless (or self-driving, or autonomous) cars (lorries, buses…)- blessed relief, or frankly terrifying?
2. Space tourism - fancy a weekend break on the moon?
3. Smart homes - from Internet connected locks to toothbrushes
4. DNA editing (CRISPR/Cas9) - we can rebuild you (or your unborn child)
Actually Brunel University, even if it looks a bit likesome kind of Martian habitat

From http://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/
VIOLA: Why, Salisbury must find his flesh and thoughtThat which I am not aps, not a man and in fire,To show the reining of the raven and the warsTo grace my hand reproach within, and not a fair are hand,That Caesar and my goodly father's world;When I was heaven of presence and our fleets,We spare with hours, but cut thy council I am great,Murdered and by thy master's ready thereMy power to give thee but so much as hell:Some service in the noble bondman here,Would show him to her wine.KING LEAR: O, if you were a feeble sight, the courtesy of your law,Your sight and several breath, will wear the godsWith his heads, and my hands are wonder'd at the deeds,So drop upon your lordship's head, and your opinionShall be against your honour.
