Zadnja epizoda 5. sezone! Pozdravljamo se preko ljeta, ali to ne znači da nemamo već planove za jesen i 6. sezonu. Malo pričamo o onome što nas čeka, malo o nekim projektima koje smo trenutno radili, a malo o preporukama za ljetno čitanje.

Svemir: hrpa većinom ničega, konačna granica ili nešto treće? U ovoj epizodi (dugoj kako i priliči epskom tonu space opere) projurili smo (ne brzinom svjetlosti jer ipak ne pričamo baš *toliko* brzo) kroz razne zakutke (pod)žanra svemirskih pustolovina.

Morali smo naravno prokomentirati situaciju u kojoj veliki izdavač povlači knjigu iz objave zbog sumnje da je autorica koristila generativni AI u pisanju. Što se dogodilo za one koji ne znaju, kako je do toga došlo i što možemo naučiti iz ove situacije?

Što je to nepouzdani pripovjedač? Kada se koristi i na koji način, koji su dobri primjeri u književnosti, a što nam se čini da je loša izvedba, sve to i u pokušaju da ne spojlamo ništa, pričamo u ovoj epizodi.
