It’s a smorgasbord of sorcery in the latest Weird Science. Richard Bradbury and Matt Armitage strain to hear the sound of ultrasonic waves making private communications possible in public places.

Matt celebrates Tokyo’s attempts to make shared spaces less social. Or something. While Richard is trapped in a potentially demonic ASMR playlist, as Matt warps time with a treadmill.

This ball of confusion starts to make more sense once they get onto the subject of DNA to wonder if our source code is up for grabs to the highest bidder.
