Karl: I've especially been hiding the last six or seven years. The main way to follow me probably is on twitter. Technically i have a web sight, but it's like seven years out of date. You can also find me on linkdon you can look me up there and send me a message. It just might take me a couple of weeks, because i tend to be very slow.

Karl Fast is an independent scholar, information architect, and futurist. He's the co-author of Figure It Out: Getting From Information to Understanding alongside Stephen Anderson, who was featured in episode 39 of the show. In this conversation, Karl tells us about what interaction designers can learn from cognitive science. We had a lot to discuss, so this episode is the first of two on the subject.
