This book was well ahead of its time with machines becoming smarter then eventually gaining dominance over man. Another apocalyptic more than post-apocalyptic, it nonetheless still talks about a future where humanity is no more. I also talk about my recent social media growth and the progress I'm making in the final stretches of my debut novel. 

I start off with a brief dive into why I love listening to heavy metal while constructing with lego, then I get into the books. That's right, it's a two-for-one deal this week. An influential and impacting book from the silver age of sci-fi (there it is, proof that post-apocalyptic can also be sci-fi) that depicts a massive flood that turns society upside down. Want another reason to listen? Just like Mad-Max: Fury Road, these books depict women who don't need a man to come and save them!

Tried a saltier voice with this one. Also, the first story I've actually read and maybe, just maybe, I'm making history by being the first person to make a summary of it. It's got everything - dangerous AI, a scientist out of control, and giant robots fighting each other. I also start off with a personal excerpt of why I write and what inspires me.

Well, actually a trilogy called the moon trilogy (The Moon Men being the 2nd book), we dive into a spiritual successor to John Carter and even a bit of Ayn Rand (but coming before her). I talk about how the world-building displayed here was pivotal for stories yet to come as well as the fact that it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll (the arduous journey of marketing).

Come hear a pivotal story from the Radium Age of sci-fi (Yes! A real term I had never heard of until I researched this episode). Heavily based upon the first-hand experiences the author had as a nurse during World War I, she envisioned a world yet again plunged into, and ultimately destroyed by, another World War. Also, I got an electronic drum set!

A rough and dirty episode for a brand new year. It's a book about two continents, (if you think of the Americas as one continent and Africa and Eurasia as Afrasia) where one is well developed and civilized and the other is savage and ravaged. I also have a side discussion, with myself, about how Lord of the Rings, in a sense, can be considered post-apocalyptic.

It's a three-for-one special with this episode. Is it wrong for an author to put himself in the book? Well apparently not, as I've seen multiple times! I rant more about how my life for the past couple of weeks has been writing, Lego, and LOTRO. Oh, and the book, where two people awake from a sleep of 1500 years to find a ruined earth and a large gash in the crust. Where did that good chunk go? Why it's up in the sky as earth's 2nd moon. Last episode before the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone!

Our first gender-targeted plague story, but don't worry fellas, there is no actual gender-specific disease out there (at least that we know of). In this, episode, we find out how sisters would be doing it for themselves if men suddenly disappeared (effing men!). Oh, and I talk about my accomplishments at the gym!

I talk about my lack of a life (at least for now), as well as The Last Redoubt - a large, 7-mile high pyramidal structure that exists on an Earth shrouded in darkness after the Sun has gone out. It's got large Lovecraftian creatures, abnormal humans, and people with psychic powers. Sounds like a personal favourite of mine, even though I haven't read it (Again! I know).

More death by a plague. Coronavirus jokes aside, these types of post-apoc events will keep coming up, because there are only so many ways humanity can die. Oh, and I also start the episode off with the wonders of acupuncture and the question: "Is lego a distraction?"
