Search For Freedom

Historian and author Michael Wood brings his unique mix of history, travel and adventure back to PBS in his series, "In Search of Myths & Heroes." In this series, Wood embarks on a set of "on the ground" adventures in search of the world's most famous myths: The Biblical story of Queen of Sheba, Celtic tale of King Arthur and Indian Shangri-La myth.
"In Search of Myths & Heroes" sets Wood off in pursuit of these enduring myths and their roots in historical fact. Wood retraces the steps of these stories and their mythic heroes, crossing the deserts of Yemen and trekking the Himalayas.

A clear-eyed, timely investigation of the threat posed by Artificial Intelligence to individual freedom, social cohesion, and the democratic process—and a radical proposal on how to fight back.
