We have made a time machine. An accurate, future telling device, available to all of us. Author and Journalist Andrew Blum, author of “The Weather Machine: A Journey Inside the Forecast” joins me to explain how the modern magic of big data and machine learning are being used to predict the future on the next QTS Experience.
About Our Guest:
https://www.andrewblum.net/
Andrew Blum is an author and journalist, writing about technology, infrastructure, architecture, design, cities, art and travel.
His new book, The Weather Machine: A Journey Inside the Forecast, was published in June 2019 by Ecco/HarperCollins in the US, The Bodley Head in the UK, and—coming in November 2019—Knauss in Germany.
His previous book, Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet, was the first ever book-length look at the physical infrastructure of the Internet—all the data centers, undersea cables and tubes filled with light. It was published in 2012 to wide acclaim, became a National Bestseller, and has been translated into ten languages. Blum discussed Tubes with Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air; BBC 4 presented it as a “Book of the Week”; and Blum spoke about his journey on the stages of TED Global.

As a speaker, he has given over a hundred talks at conferences, universities and corporations—like TED, Greenbuild, The Next Web, and SXSW; the United States State Department, the World Trade Organization and the MIT Media Lab; Google, Microsoft, and the Brooklyn Book Festival.
He has degrees in literature from Amherst College and human geography from the University of Toronto, and lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York.
