The Reboot

We are on the brink of a new way of living. Just as the adoption of web 2.0 gradually transformed our day-to-day lives in ways unrecognizable and inconceivable from 20 years ago, Web3 promises to continue that evolution.

The Reboot will bring you a weekly dive into all things tech, science and futurism, as we investigate where our world is headed. We’ll help demystify the technologies that will shape our future, including robotics, AI, the metaverse, and crypto.

And as this technological revolution is poised to redefine how we exist in the world, we ask the question, where will this next great reboot of our society lead us?

Join Sonal Rupani every Saturday from 12pm-2pm on The Reboot.
