Ep 99 - Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers

Red Dwarf was a British sci-fi comedy show that aired from 1988 to 1999 on BBC Two. Featuring a cast of colorful characters, the show has lived on in books and other media. Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers is book one and serves as prequel / jumping off point for the series. But does it do a good job of it? Does the beloved show translate well into book form? Or will it cause yuo to never give the show a shot if you have never seen it?

Ep 92 - A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Imagine a world where not only did humans turn things around and not destroy the planet, but we also managed to peacefully co-exist with sentient robots and allowed them to go off and do their own thing? In this month’s book, A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers, a tea serving monk, Sibling Dex, goes on a journey and meets a robot, Mosscap, who has not been seen for hundreds of years. Together, they try to answer the question all robots have for humanity, “ “what do people need?” The philosophical questions it raises fill the lion’s share of this short yet thoughtful book.

Ep 26 - For the Win

Video games are a huge business taking in even more money than most movie studios so there is no surprise that economies have grown up around them. People pay good money to help level up their characters, gold farm and do all of the other boring and hard things that get in the way of gaming. And even though people who do those jobs are still playing a video game, are they not still in sweatshops with poor to no rights? This month we review For the Win by Cory Doctorow and take a look at the issues surrounding the online gaming world. Next book will be Book of Mythicality by Rhett & Link.
