One day he’s in Uzbekistan, the next he’s on our podcast. There’s no predicting the inimitable Kevin Kelly.

Kevin Kelly. Where to start? Whole Earth Review. Wired. A slew of dope books, including The Inevitable (now available in paperback). He’s a man of deep interests, and a deeply interesting man. I dare you—I fucking dare you—to not like this episode.

Notes

• Check out these gorgeous photos from Kevin’s recent trip to Uzbekistan.
• “1,000 True Fans” by Kevin, AKA the hymn of this podcast.
• Second Life’s successor, Sansar, looks pretty sweet. Way better than Coke Music anyway.
• “The Global Teenager” by Kevin
• If you want to know more about the “Dweckian growth mindset,” Carol Dweck’s TED talk is a place to start.
