Technology is everywhere, in some places that are obvious, and others that are more subtle.

That’s the idea behind a new four-part series from NPR titled “I’ll Be Seeing You,” which debuts this Sunday.

NPR Special Correspondent Dina Temple-Raston is the host of this series.  Illinois Public Media’s Brian Moline spoke with her from NPR in Washington DC to get a preview.

"There are lots of technical terms we use, that we may not completely understand what they mean," Temple-Raston said. "When we talk about hacking, or offensive cyber, or artificial intelligence, we have this sort of vague idea of what they are, but we don't know how they work."

You can hear the first episode on the life and death of hacker Adrian Lamo this Sunday at 5pm on WILL AM-580.
