The Builders with Walter Isaacson

Whose imagination do you want to live in? In The Builders, Walter Isaacson talks with the most consequential names in AI, robotics and tech to understand the futures they’re racing to build. They open up about their ambitions, what frightens them, how they think about humanity, and what drives them to build so big and so fast.

The conversations are intimate, charming and sometimes chilling. But mostly, they’re impossible to dismiss. Because whether or not you agree with them, it’s their imagination we’re all starting to live in.
