Dr. Sandberg is one of those rare individuals who clearly loves his work and is always very enthusiastic to discuss it.
During the interview with Singularity Weblog's Nikola Danaylov (aka. Socrates) a wide variety of topics are covered such as: his childhood and early passion for science fiction; his intellectual journey from science fiction to science and -- eventually - to ethics; the goals and benchmarks of his work; human enhancement, body modification and the risks of early adopters; the problem of finding the right priorities; the technological singularity and our chances of surviving it; other existential threats to humanity.
A great quote to take away from the interview is: "The Singularity should not stop us from thinking!"
