The Fifth Season: Nora Kieta's Dream
N.K. Jemisin had a haunting dream of a woman so stricken with grief and rage, that she moved mountains. That paired with a class by NASA on what would happen to the Earth if we lost the moon, inspired the first book of the Broken Earth trilogy. Gabe explores the world of the Stillness unpacking the heavy themes throughout the book. This one is gonna hurt. Kat explains the fate of the world if we lost our moon. How could we survive? Are the "seasons" in Jemisin's work based in reality?
