David talks to writer and philosopher John Gray about pretty much everything, from the Corbyn cult to the craziness of cyrogenics. John tells us how to make the connections between technology, populism and religion and he explains why the worst may be still to come. Plus we ask whether democracy is really finished. A conversation about the big stuff, recorded in the stationery cupboard at the London Review of Books.
