A magical creature means a new philosophical thought experiment! This week we're introduced to "mimics" and a fascinating exploration of personal identity and the concept of the soul - but it's Sapkowski at the helm so all of this is done through a breezy, wildly entertaining adventure story that's half Wolf of Wall Street and half The Thing. Discussion topics include: power, corruption, Tolkien, immortality, echoes, and a rather extensive tangent about slugs. Blame Maggie.
