About this episode
[A note: the content warnings at the beginning also apply to the episode as a whole. We talk about a lot of it in depth in a way that might be uncomfortable for some listeners. This episode is probably even less appropriate for younger children than normal due to that.] We're back having read An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon ( ), and here to talk about it in depth! We have a pretty far-ranging conversation about the ideas in the book, from how to be a friend and ally, to when violent revolution is necessary, to discussing the large social structures of the ship & the real world. We don't disagree about much, but we manage to argue a lot anyway! And towards the end we get to answering some of the existential questions we asked of ourselves in the post-read. Stick around for the end to hear about what we're doing in December & early 2020 as well. Other works mentioned: * Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes * Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky ( episodes ) * Semiosis by Sue Burke ( episodes ) * Dark Eden by Chris Beckett ( episodes ) * Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle ( episodes ) * Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead --- As always, we'd love to hear from you!
