And then in the second half, we really dive into your questions on human technomorphology, which is the topic in their latest book, Replaceable You, Adventures in Human Anatomy, which comes out today, September 16th.

I had to wait to put this up until today.

Get the book.

Love it.

I read it in a day and a half.

It's like a bingeable book, this one.

So this interview, side note, had to be rescheduled a few times just because of some tech glitches.

And right after we did record, I closed my laptop and I started crying.

But you will find out why in a bit.

But first, thank you to patrons of the show who support us for as little as a dollar a month and submit questions before we record.

Thank you to everyone wearing things from allogiesmerch.com.

Thank you to all the caring souls who leave reviews of the show because you know it helps and you know I read them, including listener Recommended in Dreams who wrote a review saying, Seriously, twice now I have recommended this podcast to people in a dream.

Recommended in dreams.

I thank you in dreams.
