In this month's book club episode, Nier Zero and Arrus Kacchi are joined by Particle Sage for a look at Oswald Spengler's short but consequential text, Man and Technics.

Our next book club book is Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (I refer to and summarise the wrong Kant text at the end of this podcast because Arrus is an idiot): https://b-ok.cc/book/977903/cbfd59
