SHOW NOTES: Love, Death & Robots: The Robocalypse is Nigh

From the Grounded Geeks podcast / your co-hosts Aman and Lena

Love, Death & Robots are what the future holds for us. It’s also the name of a Netflix anthology series that’s made up of animated shorts about science fiction, fantasy, and horror. This week, Aman and Lena focused on the robots and talked specifically about three episodes (titled Automated Customer Service, When the Yogurt Took Over, and Three Robots) that show us what could be our near-future, mid-future, and post-apocalyptic future. But all you really need to know is…the robots are taking over.
