Imagining the future with Weapons of Reason magazine

"I don't know if we ever really thought we'd finish at eight issues..." Each issue of Weapons of Reason focuses on a major global challenge, like the environment, population growth or demographic shift, and brings some sense to these big, complex, difficult subjects by zooming in on a specific part of the wider challenge. Their latest issue is dedicated to technology, and they chose the rise of artificial intelligence as the area they wanted to explore, looking at the past, present and potential future of a technology that is affecting the way we all live our lives. In this conversation the magazine's publisher, editor and art director speak about the reasons why they wanted to tackle such difficult and important subjects, how they use a simple illustrative style to communicate complex ideas, and where they are planning to take Weapons of Reason next.
