A whole new world! A new fantastic point of view! Hadrian is a free man! Homeless, aimless sure…but at least he is free!

On today's episode we discuss the disorientation Hadrian must be feeling, cyberpunk space zombies, and the horrors of plague. We discuss the narrative framing, how it keys us into mysteries that we may see later along with mysteries we will never get a true answer for. Hadrian begins his new life as a street rat!
