Hive Mind Book Club : Guest : Dr. Graham Lau

Are there alien civilizations out there looking for us like we're looking for them? Do they want to eat us? Meet us? Or fulfill this episode's guest's secret desire to merge into a hive mind with them? Dr. Graham Lau has watched all the 'Trek', read all the books, and talks to Kovi and Benjamin about the variety of societal and evolutionary impacts astrobiologists dream of as the result of coming into contact with another civilization.
