Discussions of Sexual Coercion at 19:21-19:45 and 46:42:-49:57

The first Hugo’s of the new millennium have us going back in time with a classic science fiction scenario and a twist that will leave the reader wondering what their decision would be. Jack and Sam discuss the morality and capital capture of time travel while indulging in the ways the rich deal with boredom.
