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.

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.

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?!

Content Preview: Consider Phlebas and Critiquing the Culture pt.1
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.

They don't cover it in the show, but what happens with folks who genuinely feel they were meant to be born in the future. I identify as a member of the Culture society even if we're not there yet. Can I do that, please?

Okay, imagine if we had to care about people who weren't born at the right time, within the right borders, or to someone who was? Out of this world enough for you? Great, lets do this cue, the HBO intro.
