  • 0G192: Consider Phlebas and Galactic Just War pt.3

    We survived, and yet like all Culture protagonists we've been fundamentally changed by the experience. Can we return to the safety and normalcy of other sci-fi after this? Will we eventually succumb to ennui and ask to be frozen in stasis until Banks is reincarnated and starts writing again? Guess we'll have to do another culture book to find out. In the meantime, here's a discussion of what happens when you try to just war theory at a scale that precludes the idea of mere survival as an objective.

  • 0G191: Consider Phlebas and Philosophy of Scale pt.2

    A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. In part two our minds reel as we attempt to grasp the scale of the Culture and the space it inhabits.

    A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. We start out, as the book does, with an attempt to steelbot the argument against the culture.

  • 0G189: Three Robots Exit Strategies and Billionaire Preppers

    Congrats, you've been selected to be a servant in my billionaire bunker. You'll be required to get an implant that will explode if you try to hurt me, but other than that you'll be totally free to survive the apocalypse and live out the rest of your life feeding me and cleaning up after me. Doesn't that sounds amazing?!

  • 0G188: Tremors and Doomsday Prepperism

    Alright you mother humpers! Time to dip into the modern classics archive and talk about a movie that was "formative" for lots of us if lots of ways. From nerd fetish to Kevin Bacon fetish to prepper mommy fetish to giant graboid tentacle fetish, there's a lot to enjoy. Plus we discuss a philosophical subculture that is pretty relevant to the current rolling collapse of functioning government.

  • 0G187: Severance and Corporate Culture Alienation
    In order to get to the show notes you'll first need to walk through an endless series of boring halls very slowly. At which point you'll get a tiny glimpse of the show notes the have to wait till next season to see if they really pay off. But you're so alienated this will seem extremely fair, and otherwise we'll make you do correctives.
