As promised last time, in this second episode of our podcast Fox and Alex discuss Kim Stanely Robinson's 2020 scifi novel, The Ministry for the Future, which offers a grimly hopeful outlook on how humanity may, perhaps, solve climate change and build a better and more equitable world. Alex read this book last year, and he thought it was very on-theme for our previous episode about climage change.

This is how our episodes will go from here on out: at the beginnning (roughly) of each month we will have an episode dedicated to some political topic or another, for which we will do research in advance of our discussion. Then we will decide on a book related to the topic to read, and discuss said book in the following episode, which will generally be released sometime mid-month.

Please direct any questions, comments and/or feedback to [email protected] and we will be sure to address it in the next episode along with our own reflections!
