We made it into the double digits! This is week 10 of The Assignment Notebook podcasts and to celebrate, we read Philip K Dick's 1953 short story, Second Variety. You can read it on Project Gutenberg, at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/32032/32032-h/32032-h.htm. This story was really cool, if you like stories like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Terminator or The Thing, you'll like this story. Also, the modern day implications surrounding drone warfare are very on the nose. I hope you enjoy our chat about second variety! Next week, your assignment is to practice Zen meditation. You can find some "how to's" at http://zbtc.org/zazen.html or http://zmm.mro.org/teachings/ . Your assignment is to sit down for 10-20 minutes and do some Zen meditation, and that is Due In A Week!
