This is the third and final installment of our "planetary bodies" series, which began with the Moon (Ep. 37) and middled with Mars (Ep. 38). Here we cover a LOT of ground--everything from Kim Stanley Robinson's "Aurora" to Sheri Tepper's "Grass" to Nicola Griffith's "Ammonite" to Cixen Liu's "Three Body Problem." How do we present planetary bodies in science fiction as a landscape and a function? And what's this about "Cli-Fi" or climate-change exploratoriums in science fiction? We have a lot of questions, and a lot of thoughts, and cats. WHAAT.
