Staring the apocalypse in the eye, Richard Bradbury and Matt Armitage dissect the highs and lows technology, science and culture in 2024. There’s the obligatory explosion of AI, NVIDIA's trillion-dollar triumph, and the cyber-insecurity chaos that has plagued the year.

There are upsides too, as they memorialize mind-blowing scientific discoveries, like how humans age in bursts and the surprising versatility of new medications. They revisit to head-scratching world of DNA computing, the benefits of stranding astronauts and the strange rise of prebunking.

It's a Happy New Year from MattSplained and a ‘see you in the wreckage’ of 2025.
