Ep 80 - Wool

We’ve all heard someone say something to the effect of, “that’s just how we do it and always have.” Imagine that being applied to everything in your life; who is allowed to have children, who is in control of the government, why can no one go outside? Now imagine even asking those questions would get you executed. Welcome to the world in the Silo, based on the book Wool by Hugh Howey

Ep 78 - Daemon

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage right now causing people to question its use and how it will effect society. But what if it didn’t take AI to bring down the world we know, what if all it took was a really complex decision tree programmed by a genius and set out upon the world after his death? This month we take a look at the first in a two part series where it happens and even though people die, fortunes are lost and countries could fall, we have to ask, is that a bad thing? Find out in this month’s book, Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

Earth, our Earth at least, continues to fall into chaos. But over in Outland, everything is great. Well, good. Well, ok. Things are going in the dumpster as well. Kevin and Bill continue to find new worlds but most aren’t any place you would want to vacation on. The colony keeps finding more survivors which means more mouths to feed.

Ep 62 - Infinite

When people talk about a book, movie or TV show being a roller coaster, they mean the story usually has lots of action, twists and turns and rarely slows down. Infinite is one of those books. The main character, Wil, wakes up on board the Galahan, a faster-than-light spaceship that is supposed to be taking a small group of scientist to a new world as Earth and Mars are dying. Then he is stabbed with a screwdriver and dies. And that is literally the start of this crazy ride.
