We have all heard that the journey is more important than the end but in this episode, we flip the script to see how the end is what gives meaning to the journey. We look at what the world could be in the year 17776 and the challenges of a game that never ends. Ashwini explores what zombies can teach you about our fractured empathy while Nithya contemplates her decision to champion immortality.
