Q&A with Tom
Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?
Nick Bostrom. I feel like he'd have some incredibly mind-bending insights, if only I could understand them.
Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
At one stage I think I wanted to be a journalist, in the style of Louis Theroux?
Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?
A tragic comedy played by a young David Mitchell, in full Peep Show style.
