WIRED

Lee Pace Has Big Hopes for's Fourth Season WIRED spoke to Lee Pace on the eve of the season finale of about clone consciousness, robot gods, and what's next for the newly renewed show.

The series, like Asimov's books, focuses on a group of economists using a predictive algorithm to guide the destiny of humanity through the collapse of a galactic empire.
