[Andrew Trabulsi](http://www.iftf.org/andrewtrabulsi/?ref=johnwlittle.com), entrepreneur, consultant, and co-editor of [*Warlords, Inc.: Black Markets, Broken States, and the Rise of the Warlord Entrepreneur*](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N6PBC2G?btkr=1&ref=johnwlittle.com), joins me again for a discussion about the inherent challenges in understanding and forecasting technology-driven change. This interview was originally recorded in October of 2016 so we also touched on the increasingly sophisticated use of data in campaigning and the challenge of finding objective truth in an internet experience that is increasingly personalized and shaped to influence.
