THE LIFE CYCLE ISN'T A PODCAST ABOUT MAKING A COMPUTER GAME.

IT'S A PODCAST ABOUT MAKING THE FUTURE.

 
 

The Life Cycle is a podcast series dreamt up by Klang Games, conceived as an excuse to procrastinate the development of the studio’s simulation MMO, SEED, a game about human survival and exoplanet settlement.

After bountiful tipsy conversations about the future of humanity, space travel, transhumanism and what have you, we thought it was best to find out more about these ideas by asking some of the world's top experts for their thoughts, and to record them while we were at it.

During 2019, we conducted a wide range of interviews in Berlin, Boston, Atlanta, LA and New York, and Dublin. Season One touches on gripping topics including Simulation Theory, genetics, brain emulation and much, much more.

In Season 2, across ten or so episodes, hosts John Holten and Eva Kelley bring listeners on a storytelling journey, from what we can learn from ancient Rome all the way to the far future and to how we might decide to become ‘loud’ or ‘quiet’ aliens.
