The Bob Edwards Show, Jon Ronson and Joel Garreau, May 26, 2005

Bob talks to British journalist Jon Ronson about his new book, The Men Who Stare At Goats, a wickedly funny tour of the hush-hush fringes of military intelligence -- from experiments in mind control, to cloaks of invisibility, to the ability to kill a goat just staring at it. Then, Bob talks with Joel Garreau, Cultural Revolution correspondent for the Washington Post, about his forthcoming book Radical Evolution. Garreau expects a cultural revolution to follow ever-advancing technology, and explores how living to 150 years, having implants that improve your memory, or having computers that pretty much do everything might change the nature of being.
