The Left Page - Episode 77 - The Actual Star: The Pitfalls Towards Actual Utopia


Listen Later

Hello everyone!


To round out this month's episodes, we dive back into sci-fi, and more utopian fiction! With a recommendation from listener, and patron, Nate: Monica Byrne's The Actual Star!


It's a complex discusson on Utopian writing, its challenges, and how sometimes things don't quite work out as we'd like. So join us in this conversation on Utopia and Religion, historical and sociological approaches, and more!


And if you, listener, have other suggestions and recommendations, by all means, let us know!!


Enjoy!



Do check out our other episodes mentioned in this one, on Kim Stanley Robinson's "2312" and Marge Piercy's "Woman on the Edge of Time"!


And please support our Patreon if you're interested and want access to early content and the bonus Reading Corners!! Big things are coming! https://www.patreon.com/leftpage
