\begin{abstract}
Hi reddit! I'm Sam Arbesman, Scientist in Residence at Lux Capital, a
venture capital firm investing in emerging science and technology
startups, where I help explore what the future of science and tech
holds, make sure our firm is at the forefront of these trends, and help
the startups we invest in stay ahead of the curve. I'm the author of
Overcomplicated: Technology at the Limits of Comprehension, which is
about how our technologies have become so complex that we don't really
understand them anymore (even if you are one of the experts who made
them), and what that means for us as a society. I'm currently thinking a
lot about this topic and how we can meet our technologies halfway, even
if we can never fully understand them. I'm also the author of the
Half-Life of Facts, which examines how knowledge changes over time. My
training is in complexity science, computational biology, and applied
mathematics (I have a PhD in computational biology), and I use the ideas
of complex systems to examine how science and technology change over
time and what this means for society. This involves both academic
research as well as popular writing, the latter of which has appeared in
such places as The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Wired,
where I was previously a contributing writer. I'll be back at 11 am EST
(8 am PST, 4 pm UTC) to answer your questions, ask me anything! Update:
Hi everyone! I had a blast interacting with everyone here, answering
questions, and just being part of this fantastic conversation. Thanks so
much! Time for me to sign out, but I'll try to check back and might be
able to answer a few more.%
