Welcome back to the Iowa Talk Guys Podcast

In this week's episode, The Talk Guys interview D.B. Steinberg Jr., author of the book Overseer. The book is about a computer programmer and Silicon Valley success story, Ben Kohn, who sets out to write a revolutionary artificial intelligence program. Ben is simply trying to make the world a better place while he makes a tidy profit. But when his atheism is challenged by an old friend, the very program he wrote leads him down a path where he begins to question everything he thought was true. As his program takes on a life of its own and begins to transform the world, Ben must grapple with big questions that affect the fate of the universe. What is good, anyway? And is the Overseer really a force for good, or does it have other hidden plans he can't even fathom? The conversation with D.B. was a great one, and the Talk Guys asked D.B. what his inspirations were for his story, and he unpacked a lot for them, and all the listeners, to chew on. From JFK to 9/11 and beyond, this conversation goes deep!

Purchase the book on Amazon here: Overseer by D.B. Steinberg Jr

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."-William J. Casey, CIA Director, Feb 1981
