00:02:08   bitter bitter age do you know there were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/128">TS</a>]

00:02:11   some pretty bad and I want to argue that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/131">TS</a>]

00:02:14   these represent the best in science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/134">TS</a>]

00:02:16   fiction and fantasy of the year because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/136">TS</a>]

00:02:18   we do you want to argue for or us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/138">TS</a>]

00:02:21   I'm arguing again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/141">TS</a>]

00:02:22   let's see hey I have a meta argument i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/142">TS</a>]

00:02:25   want to discuss later about that nature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/145">TS</a>]

00:02:26   of what is the best but we can talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/146">TS</a>]

00:02:28   about that later [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/148">TS</a>]

00:02:28   alright let's go through the books first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/148">TS</a>]

00:02:30   and then maybe we can get meta at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/150">TS</a>]

00:02:32   end i also have a6 book that i'm going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/152">TS</a>]

00:02:34   to mention what I mean nominated for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/154">TS</a>]

00:02:36   nebula warden is very good much better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/156">TS</a>]

00:02:38   than any of these books actually and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/158">TS</a>]

00:02:40   Scott agrees with me I i know in advance [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/160">TS</a>]

00:02:42   because he's been raving about it or he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/162">TS</a>]

00:02:44   agrees somewhat with me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/164">TS</a>]

00:02:46   so what this is but yes just increase [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/166">TS</a>]

00:02:50   your heat i read a book from last year I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/170">TS</a>]

00:02:53   like I don't think that this is my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/173">TS</a>]

00:02:54   editing method with the incomparable is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/174">TS</a>]

00:02:56   that I declare things to be fact if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/176">TS</a>]

00:02:58   there later proven wrong i remove all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/178">TS</a>]

00:03:00   traces of my decoration and they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/180">TS</a>]

00:03:02   clever i am never wrong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/182">TS</a>]

00:03:04   alright so we should start with the two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/184">TS</a>]

00:03:07   books that we've covered previously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/187">TS</a>]

00:03:10   showing that we do have a nose for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/190">TS</a>]

00:03:12   nominal works of some of some kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/192">TS</a>]

00:03:17   two of these books we've done episodes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/197">TS</a>]

00:03:19   about already haha [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/199">TS</a>]

00:03:24   covered in detail in episode 201 of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/204">TS</a>]

00:03:27   incomparable titled insular nervous fear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/207">TS</a>]

00:03:30   where we talked about his a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/210">TS</a>]

00:03:33   interesting kind of meta discussion of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/213">TS</a>]

00:03:35   red shirts on a spaceship that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/215">TS</a>]

00:03:39   remarkably like the USS enterprise which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/219">TS</a>]

00:03:41   turns out is actually inside a TV show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/221">TS</a>]

00:03:45   and that's why the plots that their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/225">TS</a>]

00:03:47   lives are revolving around make very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/227">TS</a>]

00:03:50   little sense so we talked about this a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/230">TS</a>]

00:03:53   little bit uh Glen and Scot were on that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/233">TS</a>]

00:03:57   show dan and Monty I have you both red [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/237">TS</a>]

00:04:02   red shirts i have all right so why don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/242">TS</a>]

00:04:04   you guys let's start with Monty tell me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/244">TS</a>]

00:04:07   tell me what you thought of Richard's I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/247">TS</a>]

00:04:09   liked the middle part at the beginning I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/249">TS</a>]

00:04:13   thought the middle part where they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/253">TS</a>]

00:04:15   realize they were in a TV show and went [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/255">TS</a>]

00:04:16   to earth where the TV show is being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/256">TS</a>]

00:04:18   produced that yes that at the beginning [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/258">TS</a>]

00:04:21   when they were purposely running into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/261">TS</a>]

00:04:25   all the tropes i thought was kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/265">TS</a>]

00:04:28   obvious and boring and there's about 80 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/268">TS</a>]

00:04:30   pages after the end of the book when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/270">TS</a>]

00:04:33   scalzi wonders often into some weird [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/273">TS</a>]

00:04:36   writing exercises that I didn't care for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/276">TS</a>]

00:04:38   it all to kodys yeah the code as I felt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/278">TS</a>]

00:04:42   were completely extraneous to the actual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/282">TS</a>]

00:04:44   story and hug me up bug me a lot because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/284">TS</a>]

00:04:48   i thought i was finally done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/288">TS</a>]

00:04:50   kind of like one of those codes as i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/290">TS</a>]

00:04:51   recall just because I felt like there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/291">TS</a>]

00:04:54   was some humanity in it that maybe was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/294">TS</a>]

00:04:55   missing from all of the winking and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/295">TS</a>]

00:04:57   nudging that had been going on before it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/297">TS</a>]

00:05:00   that that up but it was a an abrupt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/300">TS</a>]

00:05:02   tonal shift to suddenly have it be like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/302">TS</a>]

00:05:04   hey remember those funny jokes about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/304">TS</a>]

00:05:07   those guys who died they were real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/307">TS</a>]

00:05:08   people and people mourn their passing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/308">TS</a>]

00:05:10   the goat cheese but i'd finally gotten [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/310">TS</a>]

00:05:13   to the point where i was accepting the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/313">TS</a>]

00:05:14   winking indulging I was like all right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/314">TS</a>]

00:05:16   I've been enjoyed this book on its own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/316">TS</a>]

00:05:17   self referential level right fine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/317">TS</a>]

00:05:21   it's too late to make it tried them make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/321">TS</a>]

00:05:24   me start caring about these guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/324">TS</a>]

00:05:26   yeah yeah I can see that dan I know you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/326">TS</a>]

00:05:28   had this book on your bookshelf for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/328">TS</a>]

00:05:30   long time I didn't and I and I read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/330">TS</a>]

00:05:32   and I enjoyed it i'm a fan of skulls [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/332">TS</a>]

00:05:34   these work in general this this seems to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/334">TS</a>]

00:05:35   me to fall pretty clearly into the he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/335">TS</a>]

00:05:38   got a couple different veins of writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/338">TS</a>]

00:05:40   i feel like i'm so i really like his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/340">TS</a>]

00:05:43   stuff in the in the old man's war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/343">TS</a>]

00:05:45   universe and we talked about the human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/345">TS</a>]

00:05:46   division also a recent polycast this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/346">TS</a>]

00:05:49   strikes me very much of reminding me of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/349">TS</a>]

00:05:51   a the androids dream which is another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/351">TS</a>]

00:05:53   book he wrote his well your novels yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/353">TS</a>]

00:05:55   he writes he's not necessarily quite as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/355">TS</a>]

00:05:59   successful as someone like Douglas Adams [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   or terry pratchett when it comes to just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/361">TS</a>]

00:06:03   sort of being like I'm just gonna do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/363">TS</a>]

00:06:04   total surrealist humor he does something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/364">TS</a>]

00:06:07   that I i think a little bit it's still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/367">TS</a>]

00:06:09   kind of grounded in a plot and it still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/369">TS</a>]

00:06:12   has like a dramatic side to it but it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/372">TS</a>]

00:06:15   also kind of if you sort of take a step [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/375">TS</a>]

00:06:17   back holy ridiculous the same time and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/377">TS</a>]

00:06:21   entertaining especially as someone who's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/381">TS</a>]

00:06:24   you know watched a lot of star trek in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/384">TS</a>]

00:06:26   the past it's definitely hits those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/386">TS</a>]

00:06:28   chords and the metafictional stuff is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/388">TS</a>]

00:06:30   I didn't just like it to the extent that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/390">TS</a>]

00:06:32   Monty did I thought it was fine and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/392">TS</a>]

00:06:34   mean it's also i find you know we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/394">TS</a>]

00:06:37   talking about now and i read it two or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/397">TS</a>]

00:06:39   three months ago and i found i forgot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/399">TS</a>]

00:06:42   most like I remember what I remember the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/402">TS</a>]

00:06:44   sort of general outlines of it but if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/404">TS</a>]

00:06:46   you ask me like I had to look up a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/406">TS</a>]

00:06:47   wikipedia page remember the names of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/407">TS</a>]

00:06:49   characters which I guess makes sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/409">TS</a>]

00:06:51   because they're red shirts but yeah it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/411">TS</a>]

00:06:53   a super light but yeah there were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/413">TS</a>]

00:06:56   characters in the book they were kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/416">TS</a>]

00:06:57   in well I remember the the wife of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/417">TS</a>]

00:07:00   guy who died [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/420">TS</a>]

00:07:02   oh yeah well I don't know yeah maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/422">TS</a>]

00:07:05   that's just because i was at the end or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/425">TS</a>]

00:07:07   maybe it's because I again I I cared [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/427">TS</a>]

00:07:45   turns out it's true especially the huge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/465">TS</a>]

00:07:48   well not especially but Hugo's by design [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/468">TS</a>]

00:07:55   if if you who have $65 or more writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/475">TS</a>]

00:07:57   so that does that does remove a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/477">TS</a>]

00:08:00   people from the running [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/480">TS</a>]

00:08:50   high-profile book high enough for us to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/530">TS</a>]

00:08:53   put it on our list and do an episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/533">TS</a>]

00:08:55   about it and yeah I think you read I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/535">TS</a>]

00:08:58   think you read one book because you're a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/538">TS</a>]

00:09:02   also and that's how it gets onto yeah I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/542">TS</a>]

00:09:05   think that's I think that's a part of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/545">TS</a>]

00:09:06   this is this is part of the I mean this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/546">TS</a>]

00:09:08   is what every awards not just the hugo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/548">TS</a>]

00:09:10   awards oscars are like this i mean there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/550">TS</a>]

00:09:12   are lots of things like that were you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/552">TS</a>]

00:09:13   you people who are more visible are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/553">TS</a>]

00:09:15   going to have a better chance of being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/555">TS</a>]

00:09:16   that doesn't mean doesn't guarantee if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/556">TS</a>]

00:09:18   Richards had been a disappointment for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/558">TS</a>]

00:09:20   scholars fanbase it would have got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/560">TS</a>]

00:09:22   nominated but he has a fanbase and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/562">TS</a>]

00:09:25   that's really liked it and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/565">TS</a>]

00:09:26   nominated the power-law curve in action [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/566">TS</a>]

00:09:29   and the Wil Wheaton audiobook I know is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/569">TS</a>]

00:09:31   very popular with people so i think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/571">TS</a>]

00:09:33   that it channels into the insular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/573">TS</a>]

00:09:35   nervous fear like we talked about an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/575">TS</a>]

00:09:36   episode 201 where there's this whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/576">TS</a>]

00:09:38   culture of people who are pals with each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/578">TS</a>]

00:09:41   other and promote each other stuff and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/581">TS</a>]

00:09:43   and that's powerful that that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/583">TS</a>]

00:09:45   powerful marketing tool it's true and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/585">TS</a>]

00:09:47   there's nothing there's nothing wrong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/587">TS</a>]

00:09:48   with that and there's nothing wrong with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/588">TS</a>]

00:09:50   the as long as you come into the Hugo's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/590">TS</a>]

00:09:52   knowing that and and writing these books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/592">TS</a>]

00:09:54   that's fine when i first started doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/594">TS</a>]

00:09:57   this I didn't really understand how the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/597">TS</a>]

00:10:01   Hugo's work so I just assumed that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/601">TS</a>]

00:10:04   they were you know this is the best book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/604">TS</a>]

00:10:06   of the year in science fiction and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/606">TS</a>]

00:10:08   fantasy based on some kind of you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/608">TS</a>]

00:10:10   laws of the universe right and so when I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/610">TS</a>]

00:10:13   am ready to crunch the numbers exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/613">TS</a>]

00:10:15   these in the old Hugo tron 5008 products [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/615">TS</a>]

00:10:19   the best book I believe they have the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/619">TS</a>]

00:10:21   frozen brain of Hugo Gernsback who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/621">TS</a>]

00:10:23   actually then they asked he's not dead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/623">TS</a>]

00:10:26   he's not that's a lie i but i mean there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/626">TS</a>]

00:10:28   are ways to run a word contest in which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/628">TS</a>]

00:10:30   you are it's not that you're requiring [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/630">TS</a>]

00:10:32   everyone to watch your read everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/632">TS</a>]

00:10:33   and even the Academy Awards I know those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/633">TS</a>]

00:10:36   are also of course the popularity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/636">TS</a>]

00:10:37   contests but there's this issue of if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/637">TS</a>]

00:10:39   you were in an industry and your part of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/639">TS</a>]

00:10:42   it and you read and observing your you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/642">TS</a>]

00:10:45   know your message to the media then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/645">TS</a>]

00:10:47   may have a better sense of picking which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/647">TS</a>]

00:10:49   the best one is or the best then you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/649">TS</a>]

00:11:28   slash and parentheses but we won that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/688">TS</a>]

00:11:30   and we were nominated again this year [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/690">TS</a>]

00:11:32   which again scientifically proves that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/692">TS</a>]

00:11:34   they know what they're doing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/694">TS</a>]

00:11:36   therefore proves that we are great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/696">TS</a>]

00:11:38   incidentally don't vote for us in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/698">TS</a>]

00:12:02   were you know that scholars playing with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/722">TS</a>]

00:12:05   that you expect it to be the single joke [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/725">TS</a>]

00:12:08   book and it's got some more twist up its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/728">TS</a>]

00:12:10   sleeve like Monty said that leads that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/730">TS</a>]

00:12:12   interesting middleware they're dealing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/732">TS</a>]

00:12:13   with a writer on the TV show and because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/733">TS</a>]

00:12:15   this thing about writers kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/735">TS</a>]

00:12:17   freezing up when they realize these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/737">TS</a>]

00:12:40   funny and breezy and not anything that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/760">TS</a>]

00:13:34   fun books and this was the latest and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/814">TS</a>]

00:13:37   it's a little different cause it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/817">TS</a>]

00:13:38   about miles or miles parents it's about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/818">TS</a>]

00:13:40   his cousin eivin and i as we said that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/820">TS</a>]

00:13:44   at the time back in December and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/824">TS</a>]

00:13:47   was a podcast with Dan Scott and ran on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/827">TS</a>]

00:13:49   it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/829">TS</a>]

00:13:50   I this is a I thought this was one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/830">TS</a>]

00:13:53   the best for cosine books in quite a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/833">TS</a>]

00:13:55   while and was again like Richards kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/835">TS</a>]

00:13:58   of light and funny but i liked it i I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/838">TS</a>]

00:14:01   thought it was better than her last two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/841">TS</a>]

00:14:02   or three again i'm not sure i would say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/842">TS</a>]

00:14:05   it has the weight or meaning or anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/845">TS</a>]

00:14:07   to be at nominee but every for cosecant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/847">TS</a>]

00:14:09   novel ever seems to have been nominated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/849">TS</a>]

00:14:10   for a hugo or so okay we'll do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/850">TS</a>]

00:14:26   your thoughts about what I've never read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/866">TS</a>]

00:14:28   any of them although i've heard you guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/868">TS</a>]

00:14:29   talking about there's something a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/869">TS</a>]

00:14:31   daunting about when someone's created [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/871">TS</a>]

00:14:32   this world this massive set of novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/872">TS</a>]

00:14:34   you like if I go down that you know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/874">TS</a>]

00:14:37   path there's a lot to read which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/877">TS</a>]

00:14:39   great but it's also using sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/879">TS</a>]

00:14:41   daunting to figure out where you started [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/881">TS</a>]

00:14:43   describing my 2010 Glenn I when I swear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/883">TS</a>]

00:14:46   I read that's ten of these do right now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/886">TS</a>]

00:14:49   well there's a diagram in Captain for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/889">TS</a>]

00:14:51   patrols the lights it's like here's how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/891">TS</a>]

00:14:53   the books related i'm like oh my god [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/893">TS</a>]

00:14:55   this is like worse than taken any any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/895">TS</a>]

00:14:57   book with a diagram that sometimes but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/897">TS</a>]

00:14:59   that's so with no background I barely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/899">TS</a>]

00:15:01   even know what the universe is about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/901">TS</a>]

00:15:03   picked it up and I thought it was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/903">TS</a>]

00:15:06   lightweight but enjoyable by I could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/906">TS</a>]

00:15:08   also tell if I bujold is a terrific [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/908">TS</a>]

00:15:11   writer she tells a good story she paints [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/911">TS</a>]

00:15:14   characters in sort of broad strokes that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/914">TS</a>]

00:15:16   are ok and sometimes she goes in and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/916">TS</a>]

00:15:18   then does the detail work to refine them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/918">TS</a>]

00:15:20   a bit but this was sort of a like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   silly slightly buffoonish story where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/922">TS</a>]

00:15:25   everybody's kind of happy in the end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/925">TS</a>]

00:15:27   more lesson Lee you know so i thought it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/927">TS</a>]

00:15:30   was I thought it was enjoyable did not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/930">TS</a>]

00:15:31   for me have the half [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/931">TS</a>]

00:15:32   of what i would expect from a hugo award [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/932">TS</a>]

00:15:35   nominated novel but I didn't read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/935">TS</a>]

00:15:37   other novels that were not nominated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/937">TS</a>]

00:15:39   this year of all to read the ones that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/939">TS</a>]

00:15:40   were kind of light on the side by side [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/940">TS</a>]

00:15:42   in the last year or last year's you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/942">TS</a>]

00:15:44   children and so I didn't you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/944">TS</a>]

00:15:48   wouldn't you know this isn't a dune [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/948">TS</a>]

00:15:49   right i mean this isn't something of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/949">TS</a>]

00:15:50   that nature and it's not like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/950">TS</a>]

00:15:53   hitchhiker's guide either and you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/953">TS</a>]

00:15:54   get those every year I realized but this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/954">TS</a>]

00:15:56   seemed like with red shirts pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/956">TS</a>]

00:15:57   lightweight to be put in this category [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/957">TS</a>]

00:15:59   alongside books like that that have been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/959">TS</a>]

00:16:01   nominated in the past I just don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/961">TS</a>]

00:16:03   if this year was a weaker or stronger [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/963">TS</a>]

00:16:05   than usual and we're seeing weaker [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/965">TS</a>]

00:16:07   titles nominate yeah I it's uh she gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/967">TS</a>]

00:16:09   nominated every time she's got a book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/969">TS</a>]

00:16:11   and she's won several times so it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/971">TS</a>]

00:16:14   definitely is one of those things where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/974">TS</a>]

00:16:16   it's almost it would be shocking if I if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/976">TS</a>]

00:16:18   a crucial book didn't get nominated cryo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/978">TS</a>]

00:16:21   burn which i think is in almost every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/981">TS</a>]

00:16:24   way an inferior except maybe the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/984">TS</a>]

00:16:27   five pages and inferior book to capital [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/987">TS</a>]

00:16:30   for patrols Alliance you know it got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/990">TS</a>]

00:16:32   nominated and this is a that I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/992">TS</a>]

00:16:35   this is much better but that's what I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/995">TS</a>]

00:16:36   would say about it is is by bujold [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/996">TS</a>]

00:16:38   standards i think this is a this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/998">TS</a>]

00:16:40   best uh your cousin book she's written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1000">TS</a>]

00:16:43   in years and other stuff is more the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1003">TS</a>]

00:16:45   main novels are more serious right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1005">TS</a>]

00:16:48   lots is like murderface literally very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1008">TS</a>]

00:16:50   very that some of them are very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:52   adventurous and some of them are are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1012">TS</a>]

00:16:53   more comedy of manners like oh yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1013">TS</a>]

00:16:56   because they seem to keep referring to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1016">TS</a>]

00:16:57   genocides all over the place it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:59   well they're funny Genesis yeah there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:02   a lot I mean there's there's war novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:03   there's murder mysteries it kind of runs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1023">TS</a>]

00:17:05   all the the genre like sort of across a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:08   bunch of genres and monitor cloudy okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1028">TS</a>]

00:17:10   I'll tell you this having read this book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1030">TS</a>]

00:17:12   i'm like i'm actually highly inclined to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:14   seek out other novels because it's clear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1034">TS</a>]

00:17:16   she writes and I'll get some advice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1036">TS</a>]

00:17:17   about which ones to go through but but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:20   it was so that in that sense it was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1040">TS</a>]

00:17:21   good good agreed to short short version [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1041">TS</a>]

00:17:24   for me is that they this series starts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1044">TS</a>]

00:17:27   with two books that were published i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1047">TS</a>]

00:17:30   think many years apart but most lot lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1050">TS</a>]

00:17:33   of them were written together generally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:35   publishes an omnibus called Cordelia's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   honor but it's actually two books shards [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:39   of honor and Barry are which are about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1059">TS</a>]

00:17:41   miles for coast against parents meeting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:43   and I think I do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1063">TS</a>]

00:17:46   best thing to do is just to start with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1066">TS</a>]

00:17:47   those two books I'd that's what i did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:48   and i thought they were great and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1068">TS</a>]

00:17:50   you can get into the miles books as well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:52   after that so I read them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1072">TS</a>]

00:17:53   chronologically by continuity instead of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:55   by publishing date and that's everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1075">TS</a>]

00:17:58   that comes in definitely anything by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1078">TS</a>]

00:18:00   continuity but i'm having a rather [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:02   enjoyed well I mean a couple of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1082">TS</a>]

00:18:04   later ones are not not-so-great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1084">TS</a>]

00:18:05   diplomatic immunity is to me the weakest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:08   in the entire series from the sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:10   main novels perspective you know it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:12   it's not good series and you'll enjoy it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1092">TS</a>]

00:18:14   all and all good and it's fun it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1094">TS</a>]

00:18:16   one of those things also where you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:18   to the end of a book and think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1098">TS</a>]

00:18:19   you've been short-changed and I there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1099">TS</a>]

00:18:22   you have to buy the next book to get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1102">TS</a>]

00:18:23   rest of the story it's not like that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:25   sits there all self-contained plus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:27   there's kind of continuity that runs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1107">TS</a>]

00:18:29   through them so I do recommend them just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:31   good writer house captain for patrols [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1111">TS</a>]

00:18:33   full text of the treaty Alliance title [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1113">TS</a>]

00:18:35   though is that good or should i skip [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1115">TS</a>]

00:18:37   that one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1117">TS</a>]

00:18:37   I pass on that on all all that material [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1117">TS</a>]

00:18:40   yeah that's not so good Upton captain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1120">TS</a>]

00:18:42   for accounting well before we move on to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1122">TS</a>]

00:21:56   anything about this but I remember that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1316">TS</a>]

00:22:00   it struck me as a cool D&D campaign that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1320">TS</a>]

00:22:05   someone wrote down haha [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1325">TS</a>]

00:22:07   well and I thought it was entertaining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1327">TS</a>]

00:22:09   but I didn't really think I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1329">TS</a>]

00:22:12   surprised that was nominated for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1332">TS</a>]

00:22:14   anything I was not disappointed that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1334">TS</a>]

00:22:16   was nominated but I was surprised so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1336">TS</a>]

00:22:18   this i thought this was a fun book let [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1338">TS</a>]

00:22:20   me explain a little bit about what this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1340">TS</a>]

00:22:22   is it's a fantasy adventure it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1342">TS</a>]

00:22:25   Arabian Nights this is in a kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1345">TS</a>]

00:22:27   unnamed place that is is either in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1347">TS</a>]

00:22:31   Middle East or it's in a middle-eastern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1351">TS</a>]

00:22:33   analog there are some references to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1353">TS</a>]

00:22:36   places that we might assume to be Europe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1356">TS</a>]

00:22:38   in Asia and there's a there's a guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1358">TS</a>]

00:22:42   who's basically the fighter of uh of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1362">TS</a>]

00:22:46   supernatural things he sort of a and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:50   he's old and grizzled but he's he's I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1370">TS</a>]

00:22:52   couldn't decide whether he was sort of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1372">TS</a>]

00:22:54   an Arabian Nights Fox Mulder or an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1374">TS</a>]

00:22:58   Arabian Nights buffy the vampire slayer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1378">TS</a>]

00:23:00   because actually this felt to me like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1380">TS</a>]

00:23:02   fairly standard supernatural or or the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1382">TS</a>]

00:23:05   supernatural brothers honestly Dan to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1385">TS</a>]

00:23:08   it seemed like the plot wasn't the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1388">TS</a>]

00:23:10   it was something I've seen before it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1390">TS</a>]

00:23:12   almost like the trappings where the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1392">TS</a>]

00:23:14   thing that was interest most interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1394">TS</a>]

00:23:16   about it that it was in this middle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1396">TS</a>]

00:23:17   eastern setting and it was less familiar [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1397">TS</a>]

00:23:19   to me than any episode of Buffy or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1399">TS</a>]

00:23:21   supernatural it was like they took a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1401">TS</a>]

00:23:23   regular fantasy novel which is in kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1403">TS</a>]

00:23:25   of a vaguely Western European medieval [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1405">TS</a>]

00:23:27   right venue changed it to a vaguely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1407">TS</a>]

00:23:31   middle-eastern venue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1411">TS</a>]

00:23:33   yes and because we haven't seen that a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1413">TS</a>]

00:23:35   million times it feels fresh and new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1415">TS</a>]

00:23:37   pressure i liked the character I mean I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1417">TS</a>]

00:23:40   the main character I I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1420">TS</a>]

00:23:41   particularly again if you're comparing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:43   it to a lot of the typical fantasy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:46   novels that we read you don't have your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1426">TS</a>]

00:23:47   young strapping hero right you had your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1427">TS</a>]

00:23:49   old slightly decrepit hero yeah but it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1429">TS</a>]

00:23:52   is master and apprentice right and he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1432">TS</a>]

00:23:54   the I seen enough of this crap I'm two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1434">TS</a>]

00:23:58   months from retirement investment about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1438">TS</a>]

00:24:01   one less collar to make and then i get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1441">TS</a>]

00:24:02   that he's got his young idealistic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1442">TS</a>]

00:24:04   sidekick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1444">TS</a>]

00:24:05   I I certainly saw to a dnd prism like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1445">TS</a>]

00:24:08   the old guy while he's the cleric and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1448">TS</a>]

00:24:11   he's got a paladin who's holier than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1451">TS</a>]

00:24:13   thou and then they meet the fighter lady [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1453">TS</a>]

00:24:16   wow it's funny because I i happen to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:18   know that the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1458">TS</a>]

00:24:19   that Saladin ran my D&D campaign with an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1459">TS</a>]

00:24:23   acquaintance of my kool so I know he i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1463">TS</a>]

00:24:25   know he plays DVD release has run deeply [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1465">TS</a>]

00:24:28   and cracked the code my god I mean who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1468">TS</a>]

00:24:31   didn't start out writing writing novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:33   versions of their d campaigns not me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:36   well and then the party argued for three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1476">TS</a>]

00:24:38   hours or four would pay for the pizza [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1478">TS</a>]

00:24:41   don't egg lat a glass vision with dark [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:43   here eating out of the sand some great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1483">TS</a>]

00:24:47   stuff in it but it was was a novella or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1487">TS</a>]

00:24:50   maybe a short story that just kept going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:52   on and on and on the payoff was sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1492">TS</a>]

00:24:54   terrible and they had set up kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1494">TS</a>]

00:24:57   weave together a bunch of different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1497">TS</a>]

00:24:59   things were supposed to enjoy the sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1499">TS</a>]

00:25:01   of coincidence or whatever and it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1501">TS</a>]

00:25:11   something that was fresh that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1511">TS</a>]

00:25:12   presented as a new viewpoint wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1512">TS</a>]

00:25:18   interesting unique elements in a few [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1518">TS</a>]

00:25:20   strong characters but as a novel it just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1520">TS</a>]

00:25:22   it was too thin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1522">TS</a>]

00:25:23   I you know it's interesting i read well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1523">TS</a>]

00:26:17   harm's way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1577">TS</a>]

00:26:21   this the creepy thing of the beginning a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1581">TS</a>]

00:26:24   lot of the chapters where that guy is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1584">TS</a>]

00:26:25   being you know essentially killed alive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1585">TS</a>]

00:26:28   then boiled his head remover like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1588">TS</a>]

00:26:30   is very strong and horrifying and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1590">TS</a>]

00:26:32   compelling and he keeps the suspense up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1592">TS</a>]

00:26:34   and then the actual thing is oh he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1594">TS</a>]

00:26:36   like a sergeant and all his men will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1596">TS</a>]

00:26:38   respond to him is like really that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1598">TS</a>]

00:26:40   whole payoff of that yellow thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1600">TS</a>]

00:26:42   oh I was actually the most disappointing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1602">TS</a>]

00:26:44   things the novel the whole climax I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1604">TS</a>]

00:26:46   really liked I mean I say that it's got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1606">TS</a>]

00:26:49   these trappings and otherwise it seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1609">TS</a>]

00:26:50   pretty standard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1610">TS</a>]

00:26:51   I like the trappings I like that the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1611">TS</a>]

00:26:54   Prince kind of comes and goes and he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1614">TS</a>]

00:26:56   he's too powerful character almost it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1616">TS</a>]

00:26:58   not his story but he you know that he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1618">TS</a>]

00:27:01   gonna cause he's going to cause some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:02   trouble but at the end you know you do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1622">TS</a>]

00:27:05   end up in this situation where there in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1625">TS</a>]

00:27:06   this palace and it's it's like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:10   almost like a runaround Aurora are far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1630">TS</a>]

00:27:12   swear their various rooms in their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1632">TS</a>]

00:27:14   various doors that open and don't even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1634">TS</a>]

00:27:16   stuff and I I had trouble with geography [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1636">TS</a>]

00:27:19   and I i I just I thought really it all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1639">TS</a>]

00:27:22   ends up to this that they run back and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1642">TS</a>]

00:27:24   forth in a bunch of rooms and there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1644">TS</a>]

00:27:26   throne and I mean it's in the title [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:27   there's some buttons or whatever and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1647">TS</a>]

00:27:30   just it seemed it did seem kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1650">TS</a>]

00:27:32   abrupt and that the fact that although [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1652">TS</a>]

00:27:34   we've been leading up to the moment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1654">TS</a>]

00:27:36   where the guy takes over all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1656">TS</a>]

00:27:37   soldiers and that was kind of cool [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1657">TS</a>]

00:27:39   it was a whole long way to go for that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1659">TS</a>]

00:27:41   one little thing that pill that's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1661">TS</a>]

00:27:44   happens so so yeah I like I mean I i can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1664">TS</a>]

00:27:47   say that it's bog-standard and then it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1667">TS</a>]

00:27:48   got this interesting trappings you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1668">TS</a>]

00:27:50   but the trappings were the best part I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1670">TS</a>]

00:27:51   like that and I did like the main [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1671">TS</a>]

00:27:53   character I like that he's grizzled and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1673">TS</a>]

00:27:54   that he's world-weary but he just has to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:56   do this and he's you know he's had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1676">TS</a>]

00:27:58   enough of this crap but it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1678">TS</a>]

00:27:59   matter he still got to do it because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:01   nobody else will I liked all of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1681">TS</a>]

00:28:03   about it and don't forget the madam with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1683">TS</a>]

00:28:06   the heart of gold [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1686">TS</a>]

00:28:07   oh yeah i mean that and I know what was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:09   surprising again not not not that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:12   different from a character you might see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1692">TS</a>]

00:28:13   in george RR martin except that the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:15   setting but the fact that she's got this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1695">TS</a>]

00:28:17   that this guy is this this pious guy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1697">TS</a>]

00:28:22   he's sort of sort of yeah i know it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1702">TS</a>]

00:28:25   again I i thought the characters were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1705">TS</a>]

00:28:27   interesting it was just more than I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1707">TS</a>]

00:28:28   realizing as i read it that it was not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:30   anything I hadn't read or seen on TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:33   before except that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1713">TS</a>]

00:28:35   setting was was you know a different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1715">TS</a>]

00:28:37   culture than we're used to but I didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1717">TS</a>]

00:28:40   just like it I I a spoiler alert i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1720">TS</a>]

00:28:42   i like the best of the five [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1722">TS</a>]

00:28:44   yeah if you actually could have been a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1724">TS</a>]

00:28:46   doctor who episode with small changes to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1726">TS</a>]

00:28:48   i did like the shifting povs in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1728">TS</a>]

00:28:51   finale where they kind of let the action [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1731">TS</a>]

00:28:54   move you from one character to another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1734">TS</a>]

00:28:56   where this character is out of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1736">TS</a>]

00:29:00   action so now another character has to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1740">TS</a>]

00:29:01   step in and he takes over the narrative [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1741">TS</a>]

00:29:04   is also having said that I'm getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1744">TS</a>]

00:29:06   pretty sick of novels that insist on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:07   multiple point of view characters right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1747">TS</a>]

00:29:09   i want to mention there's two other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1749">TS</a>]

00:29:11   novels of people like this kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:13   approach these two of the ones that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1753">TS</a>]

00:29:15   really like that are announced the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1755">TS</a>]

00:29:16   number of years old one is Shiva 3000 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1756">TS</a>]

00:29:19   which is a sort of fantasy sci-fi novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:22   that takes place in a universe in which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1762">TS</a>]

00:29:24   all of india's gods may or may not exist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1764">TS</a>]

00:29:26   it's a really great read from I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1766">TS</a>]

00:29:29   1999 I've read it multiple times and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1769">TS</a>]

00:29:32   other one is I cannot recall the title [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1772">TS</a>]

00:29:34   of it maybe we can put in the show notes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1774">TS</a>]

00:29:35   and find myself somewhere it's a book in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1775">TS</a>]

00:29:38   which greek science is actually way the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1778">TS</a>]

00:29:41   world is run so the university center of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1781">TS</a>]

00:29:43   interlocking Spears the music of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:44   spheres if you throw something through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1784">TS</a>]

00:29:46   space it throws in a straight line and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1786">TS</a>]

00:29:48   then the velocity is gone it plummets to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1788">TS</a>]

00:29:50   the ground and it's a beautiful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1790">TS</a>]

00:29:52   intricate story told in that in which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1792">TS</a>]

00:29:54   different cultures combined and they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1794">TS</a>]

00:29:57   different worldviews are actually all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1797">TS</a>]

00:29:58   the gentlemen in this universe and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1798">TS</a>]

00:30:00   a really beautiful II told story so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1800">TS</a>]

00:30:02   there are ways to tell that kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1802">TS</a>]

00:30:04   different point of view in which magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1804">TS</a>]

00:30:06   or some kind of combination science and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1806">TS</a>]

00:30:07   magic are different and you can do and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1807">TS</a>]

00:30:46   work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:46   that's how I read about a third of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:49   and was despairing it was told I was off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1849">TS</a>]

00:30:52   the hook so I i stopped at Point with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1852">TS</a>]

00:30:54   grateful that Marie I didn't want to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1854">TS</a>]

00:30:55   the one responsible for that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1855">TS</a>]

00:31:12   apocalypse but not a complete apocalypse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1872">TS</a>]

00:31:14   it's sort of a zombie inconvenience more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1874">TS</a>]

00:31:16   than anything else [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1876">TS</a>]

00:31:17   electricity is still functioning there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1877">TS</a>]

00:32:16   well thats not not as much of a spoiler [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1936">TS</a>]

00:32:20   first line of blackout is her dying yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1940">TS</a>]

00:32:23   so so she dies and i thought that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1943">TS</a>]

00:32:25   the best thing in the book because it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1945">TS</a>]

00:32:27   was at least a bold move by the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1947">TS</a>]

00:32:29   writer to do that but we didn't like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1949">TS</a>]

00:32:30   Scott I didn't like the book and then we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1950">TS</a>]

00:32:42   never really kind of I think I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1962">TS</a>]

00:32:44   outwardly stated is is more than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:47   brother-sister they are adopted after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/1967">TS</a>]

00:34:29   take one side but no matter which is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2069">TS</a>]

00:34:32   by far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2072">TS</a>]

00:34:33   Shane is only Prince John I think shawna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2073">TS</a>]

00:34:36   and shawna I liked one of the short [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2076">TS</a>]

00:34:38   stories she wrote that was nominated for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2078">TS</a>]

00:34:40   Hugo the cell end she's yes I like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2080">TS</a>]

00:34:49   started following on Twitter recently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2089">TS</a>]

00:34:50   when the issue came about sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2090">TS</a>]

00:34:54   funny person I sort of feel terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2094">TS</a>]

00:34:56   because this the stuff is terribly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2096">TS</a>]

00:34:58   terribly written if it's a very popular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2098">TS</a>]

00:34:59   so there's no reason she will change [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2099">TS</a>]

00:35:01   what she's doing and she's ridiculously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2101">TS</a>]

00:35:03   productive she's the Glen fleischmann of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:34   fanfiction that fan fiction it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2134">TS</a>]

00:35:36   something that desperately need an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2136">TS</a>]

00:35:37   editor and shouldn't have been printed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2137">TS</a>]

00:35:39   I almost wonder if this was something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2139">TS</a>]

00:35:41   she wrote earlier in her life and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2141">TS</a>]

00:38:42   fighting a sec so yeah so bizarre the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2322">TS</a>]

00:38:46   oversight Department of the division of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2326">TS</a>]

00:38:48   government ecological over stairs are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2328">TS</a>]

00:38:50   ridiculous climax in the white house [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2330">TS</a>]

00:38:52   that could now never conceivably happen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2332">TS</a>]

00:38:55   in the White House where the president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2335">TS</a>]

00:38:56   is running around and my biggest problem [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2336">TS</a>]

00:38:59   in there are a lot of problems with this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2339">TS</a>]

00:39:01   is my biggest one is so there's this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2341">TS</a>]

00:39:03   whole point where they clone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2343">TS</a>]

00:39:04   what's-her-face George yeah and it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2344">TS</a>]

00:39:07   very important plot point anything okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2347">TS</a>]

00:39:09   well they've done this for a reason and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2349">TS</a>]

00:39:11   it should be a good reason right and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2351">TS</a>]

00:39:13   is an incredibly stupid reason they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2353">TS</a>]

00:39:16   spend millions and millions and millions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2356">TS</a>]

00:39:18   of dollars to clone her because the vice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2358">TS</a>]

00:39:21   president the president is being held [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2361">TS</a>]

00:39:22   captive by the CDC the bike rack is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2362">TS</a>]

00:39:25   only way that he can get them out is by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2365">TS</a>]

00:39:28   cloning this dead blogger [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2368">TS</a>]

00:39:29   so the dead bloggers can tell the public [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2369">TS</a>]

00:39:31   and the CDC because the the public will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2371">TS</a>]

00:39:34   not trust anyone else and then the CDC [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2374">TS</a>]

00:39:36   will be forced to release the president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2376">TS</a>]

00:39:38   you missed something that Scott you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2378">TS</a>]

00:39:39   missed something because they're the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2379">TS</a>]

00:39:41   CDC's evil plan is to perfect the clone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2381">TS</a>]

00:39:44   so she's exactly Georgia and then once [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2384">TS</a>]

00:39:46   they perfected the back it off a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2386">TS</a>]

00:39:48   bit so that she's not perfect they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2388">TS</a>]

00:39:51   going to use the perfect Georgia clone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2391">TS</a>]

00:39:52   to sell the concept of clones to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2392">TS</a>]

00:39:55   millionaires or something or something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2395">TS</a>]

00:39:57   good yeah it's this month but then but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2397">TS</a>]

00:40:00   then at the climax at the climax they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2400">TS</a>]

00:40:02   like okay where we have to save the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2402">TS</a>]

00:40:05   president so let me make a phone call [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2405">TS</a>]

00:40:06   and then I'd ok the president saved what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:08   why did you bother clone Georgia so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2408">TS</a>]

00:40:13   haven't said the thing the thing that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2413">TS</a>]

00:40:14   think rubs me rose me wrong about these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2414">TS</a>]

00:40:16   books more than all of this because the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2416">TS</a>]

00:40:18   reason i said this was the best is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2418">TS</a>]

00:40:19   feel like her I feel like her individual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2419">TS</a>]

00:40:23   like action set pieces were better in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2423">TS</a>]

00:40:30   this than the first 2i thought that this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2430">TS</a>]

00:40:32   was this was a much more capably written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2432">TS</a>]

00:40:34   book in that way but what what really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2434">TS</a>]

00:40:39   drives me crazy and it's been throughout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2439">TS</a>]

00:40:40   these books is there's a lot of it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2440">TS</a>]

00:40:44   just bad style i think is the thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2444">TS</a>]

00:40:46   offends me the most is that with all we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2446">TS</a>]

00:40:47   said about the ridiculous plot it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2447">TS</a>]

00:40:50   pleasant to read I could forgive a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2450">TS</a>]

00:40:51   of it was enjoyable to actually read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2451">TS</a>]

00:40:53   words but there's so much repetition so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2453">TS</a>]

00:40:56   much and insistence on details and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:59   donation can I get you a couple of a a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2459">TS</a>]

00:41:02   canonical right now yeah that would i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2462">TS</a>]

00:41:04   would really enjoy opening a coke every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2464">TS</a>]

00:41:06   time I'm gonna get you a coke and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2466">TS</a>]

00:41:07   think that I think coke might be sweet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2467">TS</a>]

00:41:10   while you're doing that Glenn I'm going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2470">TS</a>]

00:41:12   to jam my thumb on a zombie virus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2472">TS</a>]

00:41:15   detector reader and what happens you see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2475">TS</a>]

00:41:18   when that happens is needles bite into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2478">TS</a>]

00:41:20   my thumb and then the blood comes out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2480">TS</a>]

00:41:22   and then I wait as the light goes from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2482">TS</a>]

00:41:24   red to green to red to green to red to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2484">TS</a>]

00:41:26   green to red to green oh green I'm say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2486">TS</a>]

00:41:29   so i gotta send it on my thumb here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2489">TS</a>]

00:41:31   before you get that can cook for you so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2491">TS</a>]

00:41:32   i have to do that first before as well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2492">TS</a>]

00:41:34   then haha so you jam your thumb in there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2494">TS</a>]

00:41:36   and the needles go see because this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2496">TS</a>]

00:41:38   what happened or is that comes that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2498">TS</a>]

00:41:40   this information is repeated every few [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2500">TS</a>]

00:41:43   pages [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2503">TS</a>]

00:41:43   is across all three books the same names [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2503">TS</a>]

00:41:46   something with the state it's a nonsense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2506">TS</a>]

00:41:48   places you don't need zombie scanner and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:50   all the plants so those details that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2510">TS</a>]

00:41:51   unnecessary and and then things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2511">TS</a>]

00:41:55   don't make sense and you know again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2515">TS</a>]

00:41:56   that's it is stylistically I think this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2516">TS</a>]

00:41:58   these books are a failure plus the plots [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2518">TS</a>]

00:42:00   are nonsensical so I don't know she has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2520">TS</a>]

00:42:02   a following she's a huge fan base [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2522">TS</a>]

00:42:04   Sean Maguire got nominated for like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2524">TS</a>]

00:42:06   seven Hugo's or something this year [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2526">TS</a>]

00:42:07   she's in the podcast categories in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2527">TS</a>]

00:42:09   short story categories in the novella [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2529">TS</a>]

00:42:11   cavities in the novel category [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2531">TS</a>]

00:42:13   she's all she's I think she's in some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2533">TS</a>]

00:42:14   other categories she's all over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2534">TS</a>]

00:42:16   place and that's great because she's got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2536">TS</a>]

00:42:17   fans who love her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2537">TS</a>]

00:42:18   I hope they love her for some of her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2538">TS</a>]

00:42:21   other works that are presumably better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2541">TS</a>]

00:42:23   than me is because all three of these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2543">TS</a>]

00:42:25   books are awful and I was generous with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2545">TS</a>]

00:42:27   this one on goodreads I gave it two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2547">TS</a>]

00:42:29   stars instead of one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2549">TS</a>]

00:42:31   it's so funny because I people usually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2551">TS</a>]

00:42:33   accuse us you know we starting the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2553">TS</a>]

00:42:35   specifics about something people like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2555">TS</a>]

00:42:37   what you have an animus against this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2557">TS</a>]

00:42:38   author something it's like no I've got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2558">TS</a>]

00:42:40   nine of us have anything against I know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2560">TS</a>]

00:42:42   nothing about this it races all about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2562">TS</a>]

00:42:44   these are really terrible i mean i know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:46   that this is a really terrible thing I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2566">TS</a>]

00:42:48   read it was so bad I could not I did not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2568">TS</a>]

00:42:50   want to finish it went well didn't have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2570">TS</a>]

00:42:51   to i did not i have to really specific [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2571">TS</a>]

00:42:55   things i did not like about this book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2575">TS</a>]

00:42:57   lay upon us one is everybody is so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2577">TS</a>]

00:43:00   quickly at every opportunity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2580">TS</a>]

00:43:03   it's like a joss whedon fanfic kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2583">TS</a>]

00:43:05   thing where it was especially because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2585">TS</a>]

00:43:07   she keeps talking about somebody named [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2587">TS</a>]

00:43:08   buffy who I never saw because she's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2588">TS</a>]

00:43:10   in this book yes she dies in the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2590">TS</a>]

00:43:12   book she's just she's really in hacker [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2592">TS</a>]

00:43:17   IT professional encrypted the most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2597">TS</a>]

00:43:21   valuable database on earth with like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2601">TS</a>]

00:43:23   four-letter password [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2603">TS</a>]

00:43:25   yeah like her name is really good here a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2605">TS</a>]

00:43:28   couple of things people actually say in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2608">TS</a>]

00:43:29   this book at incredibly tense moments [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2609">TS</a>]

00:43:32   could we go with a slightly less out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2612">TS</a>]

00:43:35   worthy doomsday weapon next time okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2615">TS</a>]

00:43:40   that's it no more mr. nice heavily-armed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2620">TS</a>]

00:43:43   really pissed off journalist Beck's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2623">TS</a>]

00:43:48   frowned clearly half-asleep bats [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2628">TS</a>]

00:43:50   yeah you know flap flap squeak squeak [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2630">TS</a>]

00:43:53   works for Dracula [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2633">TS</a>]

00:43:56   we come in peace i called more quietly i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2636">TS</a>]

00:43:59   added for Beck's benefit i have always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2639">TS</a>]

00:44:01   wanted to say that I think that's when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2641">TS</a>]

00:44:04   they're taking the vice-president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2644">TS</a>]

00:44:05   hostage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2645">TS</a>]

00:44:06   you don't say that then you can't be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:08   that quickie of all the time anyway [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2648">TS</a>]

00:44:11   she's either theory she's an incredibly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2651">TS</a>]

00:44:13   good programmer and shut down the road [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2653">TS</a>]

00:44:15   software that this is one of the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:17   round [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:18   ok so here's my explanation for these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2658">TS</a>]

00:44:19   books is is that uh huh and I do have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2659">TS</a>]

00:44:22   one its it reads to me like somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:28   who's pictured a a movie in their head [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2668">TS</a>]

00:44:31   and is literally just writing down the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2671">TS</a>]

00:44:34   dialogue and writing down the camera [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:36   movements and writing down the yeah you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2676">TS</a>]

00:44:40   know it what they're seeing on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2680">TS</a>]

00:44:41   screen and so every time somebody stick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:45   their finger in the reader she has to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2685">TS</a>]

00:44:47   explain what the finger thing is and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:50   but that's how it feels to be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2690">TS</a>]

00:44:52   dialogue especially is painful because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2692">TS</a>]

00:44:53   there's so much of it and it's so rep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2693">TS</a>]

00:44:56   repetitious and pointless and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2696">TS</a>]

00:45:00   there's no sense uh in the entire book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2700">TS</a>]

00:45:03   of compression she doesn't understand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2703">TS</a>]

00:45:06   that if you have five characters and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2706">TS</a>]

00:45:07   they need to go somewhere that's four [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2707">TS</a>]

00:45:10   rooms away that you don't need to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/2710">TS</a>]

00:50:53   in fact I wrote an article for The [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3053">TS</a>]

00:50:55   Economist's package blog about how I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3055">TS</a>]

00:51:05   characters are uninspired the science is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3065">TS</a>]

00:51:16   me because it can't be wrong with Kim [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3076">TS</a>]

00:55:08   probably been months since Iran's book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3308">TS</a>]

00:55:10   and it has been a while but i will say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3310">TS</a>]

00:55:12   that I this is the book that i have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3312">TS</a>]

00:55:14   voted 4-2 win the ok conflict here we go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3314">TS</a>]

00:55:18   yeah it's true but I mean I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3318">TS</a>]

00:55:20   understand how people can hate it as i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3320">TS</a>]

00:55:21   was reading it and like I really like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3321">TS</a>]

00:55:22   this but I understand why people don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3322">TS</a>]

00:55:24   like it at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3324">TS</a>]

00:55:25   there's an unlikable character for large [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3325">TS</a>]

00:55:27   portions of the book you have no idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3327">TS</a>]

00:55:29   what's going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3329">TS</a>]

00:55:30   it is rambling there are weird chapters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3330">TS</a>]

00:55:34   with just lists and fragments of texts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3334">TS</a>]

00:55:36   these are not things that make a book of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3336">TS</a>]

00:55:39   all that likable but for me this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3339">TS</a>]

00:55:42   combination really worked well because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3342">TS</a>]

00:55:44   of there's this kind of the stroke right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3344">TS</a>]

00:55:46   that humanity when you reach a certain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3346">TS</a>]

00:55:48   level of technological advancement [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3348">TS</a>]

00:55:50   people just get bored and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3350">TS</a>]

00:55:52   nothing to do and that's kind of what i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3352">TS</a>]

00:55:55   thought was the kind of the the Swan the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3355">TS</a>]

00:55:58   main character who is kind of all she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3358">TS</a>]

00:56:00   haha horrible person she's not a nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3360">TS</a>]

00:56:02   person but she's interesting is because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3362">TS</a>]

00:56:04   i was just nice she's also dumb and does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3364">TS</a>]

00:56:06   lots of dumb things she does some very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3366">TS</a>]

00:56:09   dumb thing so she's bored and so she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3369">TS</a>]

00:56:10   says hey I know what I'll do I'll inject [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3370">TS</a>]

00:56:12   this alien bacteria into my system and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3372">TS</a>]

00:56:15   see what happens right and so the answer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3375">TS</a>]

00:56:17   is a bad things happen right so she that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3377">TS</a>]

00:56:20   although it also saves her life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3380">TS</a>]

00:56:21   potentially to do you want accident yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3381">TS</a>]

00:56:23   so we don't know what's happening right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3383">TS</a>]

00:56:24   and then there's this other guy who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3384">TS</a>]

00:56:26   likes her for some reason and but it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3386">TS</a>]

00:56:29   frogman or whatever I can be brought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3389">TS</a>]

00:56:31   about a war on with a w was a war on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3391">TS</a>]

00:56:33   barham mrnas named thousand times i can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3393">TS</a>]

00:56:36   remember [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3396">TS</a>]

00:56:36   yeah he falls in love with her but she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3396">TS</a>]

00:56:38   is really incapable of love so edgy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3398">TS</a>]

00:56:41   uses him and he like walks for like six [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3401">TS</a>]

00:56:44   months under the surface of mercury to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3404">TS</a>]

00:56:46   save her life and she's kind of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3406">TS</a>]

00:56:47   whatever you can walk a little faster [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3407">TS</a>]

00:56:50   that seems for me was reflected out the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3410">TS</a>]

00:56:52   entire novel heels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3412">TS</a>]

00:56:54   yeah speak speaking of people of Robert [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3414">TS</a>]

00:56:56   compression yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3416">TS</a>]

00:56:58   oh my true but I thought that was the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3418">TS</a>]

00:56:59   point of it right it was and and tell me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3419">TS</a>]

00:57:02   that you don't need it but that was the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3422">TS</a>]

00:57:05   point he was making he was trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3425">TS</a>]

00:57:06   make you feel like the web how those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3426">TS</a>]

00:57:08   characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3428">TS</a>]

00:57:09   accomplished and I i can agree that with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3429">TS</a>]

00:57:12   you that it might not work well I will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3432">TS</a>]

00:57:15   argue at work because it was in fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3435">TS</a>]

00:57:16   boring but I thought that was the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3436">TS</a>]

00:57:18   way and as and I also i really like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3438">TS</a>]

00:57:23   facts are there there's this big city on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3443">TS</a>]

00:57:26   Mercury that's on the track the opposite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3446">TS</a>]

00:57:28   has to get out of the sun's way and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3448">TS</a>]

00:57:30   thought I would bring it this is stupid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3450">TS</a>]

00:57:32   because who would ever live on this kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3452">TS</a>]

00:57:34   of a precarious situation and I know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3454">TS</a>]

00:57:37   something's gonna happen to the track [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3457">TS</a>]

00:57:38   and then I thought well people do live [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3458">TS</a>]

00:57:41   at the base of volcanoes people with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3461">TS</a>]

00:57:43   ever so it's kind of makes sense that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3463">TS</a>]

00:57:46   when you get to this kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3466">TS</a>]

00:57:47   technological arrogance you're not sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3467">TS</a>]

00:57:49   why not live in a moving city on Mercury [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3469">TS</a>]

00:57:51   what could have I would be way more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3471">TS</a>]

00:57:53   impressed had I not seen that exact same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3473">TS</a>]

00:57:55   device in a 2-3 zone Star Wars novel 20 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3475">TS</a>]

00:57:57   years ago mom [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3477">TS</a>]

00:57:59   well I probably read that novel but i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3479">TS</a>]

00:58:06   describing life I got brain damage was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3486">TS</a>]

00:58:08   because the the science didn't work and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3488">TS</a>]

00:58:13   reason to Mars books one of the things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3493">TS</a>]

00:58:15   that's nice about them is the ecological [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3495">TS</a>]

00:58:18   geological like there's so much in there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3498">TS</a>]

00:58:20   that is accurate self-consistent and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3500">TS</a>]

00:58:23   learn a lot about Mars as it is now in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3503">TS</a>]

00:58:25   fact ring them it's got that hard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3505">TS</a>]

00:58:27   science really tries to not do things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3507">TS</a>]

00:58:29   that are impossible then you get this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3509">TS</a>]

00:58:31   thing and he even States a number of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3511">TS</a>]

00:58:34   times i've talked about redundancy good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3514">TS</a>]

00:58:35   gravy but he states seemingly number of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3515">TS</a>]

00:58:37   times that you can have quantum [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3517">TS</a>]

00:58:39   computers but they can't untangle the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3519">TS</a>]

00:58:41   quantum entanglement far enough to lose [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3521">TS</a>]

00:58:44   coherence you can't get very far apart [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3524">TS</a>]

00:58:45   the elements so you can make an ansible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3525">TS</a>]

00:58:59   the deus ex machina you need in science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3539">TS</a>]

00:59:01   fiction as you have communicators that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3541">TS</a>]

00:59:03   are very far apart and they can talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3543">TS</a>]

00:59:04   together instantly because stuff and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3544">TS</a>]

00:59:07   there should not be any ansibles in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3547">TS</a>]

00:59:09   universe and yet people talk to each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3549">TS</a>]

00:59:11   other seemingly instantaneously without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3551">TS</a>]

00:59:13   any explanation and they also travel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3553">TS</a>]

00:59:16   across the breadth and length of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3556">TS</a>]

00:59:18   solar system including out of the plane [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3558">TS</a>]

00:59:19   of the elliptic in seemingly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3559">TS</a>]

00:59:21   ridiculously small amounts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3561">TS</a>]

00:59:22   time without any explanation it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3562">TS</a>]

00:59:25   need an explanation that's good let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3565">TS</a>]

00:59:27   party that's well everything is better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3567">TS</a>]

00:59:29   exactly but he he has just enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3569">TS</a>]

00:59:31   science in it the ebay is just enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3571">TS</a>]

00:59:33   science in it that you expect him to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3573">TS</a>]

00:59:34   offer here i'm gonna wave my hands [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3574">TS</a>]

00:59:36   explain why this works and i'll accept [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3576">TS</a>]

00:59:38   that because that's part of the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3578">TS</a>]

00:59:39   but then he does stuff that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3579">TS</a>]

00:59:40   contradictory to the ability for his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3580">TS</a>]

00:59:42   university self-consistent and it irks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3582">TS</a>]

00:59:45   me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3585">TS</a>]

00:59:46   well i did not get the feeling better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3586">TS</a>]

00:59:47   the the trips between and they make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3587">TS</a>]

00:59:49   lot of trips to different planets but i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3589">TS</a>]

00:59:50   did not get the feeling with those were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3590">TS</a>]

00:59:52   quick trips [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3592">TS</a>]

00:59:52   no I don't think he ever kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3592">TS</a>]

00:59:54   chronologically dates the chapter so you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3594">TS</a>]

00:59:56   don't really know how long it a no but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3596">TS</a>]

00:59:58   it'd be like 20 or 30 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3598">TS</a>]

00:59:58   it'd be like 20 or 30 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3598">TS</a>]

01:00:00   and instead of the novel i think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3600">TS</a>]

01:00:01   supposed to take place within a couple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3601">TS</a>]

01:00:03   years but it was they don't know because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3603">TS</a>]

01:00:05   they're so they sell there are very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3605">TS</a>]

01:00:07   long-lived right so they could take 20 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3607">TS</a>]

01:00:09   years they could just be there hanging [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3609">TS</a>]

01:00:11   out on a going from asteroid to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3611">TS</a>]

01:00:13   asteroids the guy in venus is only there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3613">TS</a>]

01:00:15   for short you can track the guy in venus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3615">TS</a>]

01:00:16   is there for a certain period of time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3616">TS</a>]

01:00:18   and what happened to the guy in Venus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3618">TS</a>]

01:00:20   was like apparently accidentally placed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3620">TS</a>]

01:00:22   there and winds up being completely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3622">TS</a>]

01:00:23   critical to the entire current order of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3623">TS</a>]

01:00:26   the solar system not being disrupted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3626">TS</a>]

01:00:28   because that's how this novel works so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3628">TS</a>]

01:00:29   often when does like the science the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3629">TS</a>]

01:00:30   science didn't bother me so much things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:34   bother me about this novel sissies the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3634">TS</a>]

01:00:37   the so the the Grand Tour aspect of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3637">TS</a>]

01:00:41   dan says that the plot doesn't really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3641">TS</a>]

01:00:43   start for a while and I said you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3643">TS</a>]

01:00:47   is that really the point I i don't think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3647">TS</a>]

01:00:49   it is either the plot is thin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3649">TS</a>]

01:00:50   the plot is this terrorist kind of fish [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3650">TS</a>]

01:00:52   plot about they blow up the going to use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3652">TS</a>]

01:00:55   like the rocks because it through these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3655">TS</a>]

01:00:57   AIS that are uncontrolled that are being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3657">TS</a>]

01:00:59   able to figure out these precise details [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3659">TS</a>]

01:01:01   with rock seem like they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3661">TS</a>]

01:01:02   connected but then they come together at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3662">TS</a>]

01:01:04   the very last minute and they blow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3664">TS</a>]

01:01:06   things up & it and it's not necessary [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3666">TS</a>]

01:01:09   that the story is it's an excuse to show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3669">TS</a>]

01:01:13   these characters on this tour of what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3673">TS</a>]

01:01:15   humanity is going to be like in 2312 and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3675">TS</a>]

01:01:17   if you really if that works for you as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3677">TS</a>]

01:01:21   a wonderful tour of the solar system and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3681">TS</a>]

01:01:24   a vision of what the future of humanity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3684">TS</a>]

01:01:27   where humanity is taking a bunch of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3687">TS</a>]

01:01:29   different forms [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3689">TS</a>]

01:01:30   it's very different from a distant which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3690">TS</a>]

01:01:32   which I i think is to its credit because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3692">TS</a>]

01:01:35   if you look at something like Star Trek [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3695">TS</a>]

01:01:36   that supposedly set in the far future [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3696">TS</a>]

01:01:38   but it's just people from today [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3698">TS</a>]

01:01:40   essentially in the culture hasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3700">TS</a>]

01:01:41   changed the fact is that in in 70 years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3701">TS</a>]

01:01:44   of life 60 years of life people see huge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3704">TS</a>]

01:01:49   cultural change in the world around them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3709">TS</a>]

01:01:51   if you go ahead 300 years the cultural [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3711">TS</a>]

01:01:55   change is going to be mind-blowing in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3715">TS</a>]

01:01:57   terms of things that we think of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3717">TS</a>]

01:01:58   awful today like I suppose injecting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3718">TS</a>]

01:02:01   yourself with alien microbes from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3721">TS</a>]

01:02:03   Enceladus her we're right in being very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3723">TS</a>]

01:02:06   lives of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3726">TS</a>]

01:02:08   of very sexualized I don't mind the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3728">TS</a>]

01:02:10   sexual identity stuff that's another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3730">TS</a>]

01:02:12   generation a bunch of different genders [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3732">TS</a>]

01:02:13   in a bunch of different roles very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3733">TS</a>]

01:02:15   complicated to keep tracking is actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3735">TS</a>]

01:02:17   much better so I like that it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3737">TS</a>]

01:02:19   this is what the future is like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3739">TS</a>]

01:02:21   very alien because 300 years from now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3741">TS</a>]

01:02:23   you if humanity is still alive at eight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3743">TS</a>]

01:02:25   whether it's on a outer space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3745">TS</a>]

01:02:27   you know at all the asteroids or not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3747">TS</a>]

01:02:29   it's going to be very different and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3749">TS</a>]

01:02:31   engine would be shocking to us just as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3751">TS</a>]

01:02:33   you frankly our culture of 40 years from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3753">TS</a>]

01:02:37   now will be shocking to us as we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:38   grumpy old men so that's all that's all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3758">TS</a>]

01:02:41   fine and that's that's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3761">TS</a>]

01:02:43   science-fictional my problems are first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3763">TS</a>]

01:02:47   off as a grand tour novel I've seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3767">TS</a>]

01:02:49   better but it's not groundbreaking it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3769">TS</a>]

01:02:52   may be an interesting vision but like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3772">TS</a>]

01:02:54   charles stross is Saturn's children [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3774">TS</a>]

01:02:56   which was nominated a couple years ago [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3776">TS</a>]

01:02:57   which the main character is actually a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3777">TS</a>]

01:02:59   sexpot but I thought it was better that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3779">TS</a>]

01:03:03   it was a better grand tour of the solar [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3783">TS</a>]

01:03:05   system in the future it's very al any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3785">TS</a>]

01:03:06   any grand tour that includes the sex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3786">TS</a>]

01:03:08   it's good it's a very it's very spaced [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3788">TS</a>]

01:03:11   off broken loose X but it's like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:13   know we're gonna go show you all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3793">TS</a>]

01:03:14   planets and how the different ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3794">TS</a>]

01:03:15   people live now so I didn't think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3795">TS</a>]

01:03:17   was special and and then the other thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3797">TS</a>]

01:03:21   that really bothered me about this book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3801">TS</a>]

01:03:22   is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3802">TS</a>]

01:03:23   yes Juan is it is a an awful character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3803">TS</a>]

01:03:26   and you don't have to have likable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3806">TS</a>]

01:03:27   characters but it's harder you gotta [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3807">TS</a>]

01:03:29   work harder if your main character is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3809">TS</a>]

01:03:32   awful and does stupid things and at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3812">TS</a>]

01:03:35   several points jeopardizes like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3815">TS</a>]

01:03:36   everybody in the book for no good reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3816">TS</a>]

01:03:38   because she's bored or doesn't care or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3818">TS</a>]

01:03:41   doesn't think through her actions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3821">TS</a>]

01:03:44   she's like she's like a walking talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3824">TS</a>]

01:03:46   plot complication like the plot would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3826">TS</a>]

01:03:48   too simple Swan didn't come by and do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3828">TS</a>]

01:03:50   something stupid but she's the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3830">TS</a>]

01:03:54   problem I have with this is that is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3834">TS</a>]

01:03:55   in Glen and I were talking about it just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3835">TS</a>]

01:03:57   a moment ago [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3837">TS</a>]

01:03:59   it's interesting that they talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3839">TS</a>]

01:04:00   the future of people having different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3840">TS</a>]

01:04:03   genders and multiple genders at once and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3843">TS</a>]

01:04:06   all the different forms of sexual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3846">TS</a>]

01:04:07   coupling and all of that and I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3847">TS</a>]

01:04:09   that was interesting but at the core of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3849">TS</a>]

01:04:12   this book is this relationship between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3852">TS</a>]

01:04:14   Swan this awful person and warm the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3854">TS</a>]

01:04:16   frogman from the outer planets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3856">TS</a>]

01:04:19   and was very nice and they and who is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3859">TS</a>]

01:04:21   very nice fellow and she's awful and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3861">TS</a>]

01:04:24   he's nice but he loves her i would say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3864">TS</a>]

01:04:26   kind of inexplicably but sometimes that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3866">TS</a>]

01:04:28   happens Phoenix the heart doesn't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3868">TS</a>]

01:04:29   from logic ok I'll go with that and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3869">TS</a>]

01:04:33   in the end I guess the novel sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3873">TS</a>]

01:04:35   portrays that they they get married and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3875">TS</a>]

01:04:38   they or they are in a relationship and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3878">TS</a>]

01:04:40   there there's some there's some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3880">TS</a>]

01:04:42   attachment at the very end I guess but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3882">TS</a>]

01:04:44   um that was that actually really bug me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3884">TS</a>]

01:04:47   because in the history in all of human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3887">TS</a>]

01:04:48   history there is emotion and love and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3888">TS</a>]

01:04:52   Perry pair bonding and in this book I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3892">TS</a>]

01:04:56   felt like Kim Stanley Robinson excelled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3896">TS</a>]

01:04:58   at imagining all sorts of different ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3898">TS</a>]

01:05:00   that human humans could change their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3900">TS</a>]

01:05:02   plumbing and their gender identity and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3902">TS</a>]

01:05:06   their sexual orientation but he couldn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3906">TS</a>]

01:05:08   imagine a future with people who love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3908">TS</a>]

01:05:12   each other and and and when I realized [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3912">TS</a>]

01:05:16   that this relationship that supposed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3916">TS</a>]

01:05:18   be at what the novel hinges on is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3918">TS</a>]

01:05:20   completely barren of any feeling at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3920">TS</a>]

01:05:22   and it's all about the plumbing and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3922">TS</a>]

01:05:24   social constructs of gender and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3924">TS</a>]

01:05:26   orientation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3926">TS</a>]

01:05:27   that's when I got mad at this novel and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3927">TS</a>]

01:05:29   said this is a guy who loves playing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3929">TS</a>]

01:05:31   with planets but doesn't know anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3931">TS</a>]

01:05:33   about people and at that point I decided [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3933">TS</a>]

01:05:35   that I hated it so that's my story I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3935">TS</a>]

01:05:37   think that's I think this is a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3937">TS</a>]

01:05:38   interesting cerebral imagination like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3938">TS</a>]

01:05:42   where it in his little imagination land [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3942">TS</a>]

01:05:44   of the future but as as a novel about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3944">TS</a>]

01:05:46   human beings and what it means to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3946">TS</a>]

01:05:48   human in 2312 look to a writer who isn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3948">TS</a>]

01:05:51   Kim Stanley Robinson because he failed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3951">TS</a>]

01:05:54   it's weird though because the Mars [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3954">TS</a>]

01:05:55   novels he doesn't have that problem at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3955">TS</a>]

01:05:56   all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3956">TS</a>]

01:05:57   it's it's all about people and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3957">TS</a>]

01:05:58   something about people that they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3958">TS</a>]

01:06:00   all nice but they're interested and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3960">TS</a>]

01:06:01   their relationships are much more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3961">TS</a>]

01:06:03   meaningful but that's neither [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3963">TS</a>]

01:06:04   complicated scene / f two fat it to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3964">TS</a>]

01:06:06   it just felt like these people were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3966">TS</a>]

01:06:07   awful people who felt no feelings and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3967">TS</a>]

01:06:09   even when there was a feeling like war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3969">TS</a>]

01:06:11   on liking Swan it made no sense and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3971">TS</a>]

01:06:14   was almost like he was like adopting a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3974">TS</a>]

01:06:16   cat and I just I didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3976">TS</a>]

01:06:18   I just didn't I felt no love in these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3978">TS</a>]

01:06:22   characters the Frank was a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3982">TS</a>]

01:06:23   complicated character he has he has he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3983">TS</a>]

01:06:25   has various moods and darkness is again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3985">TS</a>]

01:06:28   transforms and through the novel's Frank [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3988">TS</a>]

01:06:30   is like one of the strongest characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3990">TS</a>]

01:06:31   and is not a nice guy for most of it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3991">TS</a>]

01:06:34   you respect time well its dynamics ax is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3994">TS</a>]

01:06:36   a member sacks is a memorable older in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3996">TS</a>]

01:06:38   there and he'll expose completely flawed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/3998">TS</a>]

01:06:41   human being but it's very interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4001">TS</a>]

01:06:43   and and and swan is an interesting she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4003">TS</a>]

01:06:45   very flawed she's not very interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4005">TS</a>]

01:06:47   anyway I feel like we came into swans [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4007">TS</a>]

01:06:51   life at a point where she had done all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4011">TS</a>]

01:06:54   of her work she made her little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4014">TS</a>]

01:06:56   terrarium said she was not romantic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4016">TS</a>]

01:06:58   dreams and she was done and she's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4018">TS</a>]

01:07:00   kind of being an awful person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4020">TS</a>]

01:07:02   untethered to the world kind of looking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4022">TS</a>]

01:07:05   for for meaning and failing to find it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4025">TS</a>]

01:07:08   and she fails to find it in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4028">TS</a>]

01:07:10   relationship she fails to find it yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4030">TS</a>]

01:07:12   you know trying to solve her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4032">TS</a>]

01:07:13   grandmother's work she just you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4033">TS</a>]

01:07:17   she's unhappy and 2312 alien microbes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4037">TS</a>]

01:07:20   can't help her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4040">TS</a>]

01:07:21   no way eyes can't help nothing could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4041">TS</a>]

01:07:23   help her the way I think drove me nuts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4043">TS</a>]

01:07:25   because it's like oh my god the AIS [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4045">TS</a>]

01:07:46   this I i don't think i have encountered [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4066">TS</a>]

01:07:49   a book that was probably better read on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4069">TS</a>]

01:07:52   in ebook form because the number of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4072">TS</a>]

01:07:55   words i had to look up in this book and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4075">TS</a>]

01:07:57   I have a pretty good vocabulary [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4077">TS</a>]

01:07:59   yeah I looked up a lot of work that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4079">TS</a>]

01:08:01   yeah he seemed to really like words I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4081">TS</a>]

01:08:06   totally see what this was supposed to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4086">TS</a>]

01:08:07   though this was supposed to be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4087">TS</a>]

01:08:09   melding of money and you can see that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4089">TS</a>]

01:08:11   was supposed to be this very clever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4091">TS</a>]

01:08:13   melting of the ton of different ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4093">TS</a>]

01:08:14   had percolating the idea of journal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4094">TS</a>]

01:08:17   pages from someone who is almost an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4097">TS</a>]

01:08:18   undead hand of this person trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4098">TS</a>]

01:08:20   help turn the entire you know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4100">TS</a>]

01:08:24   I'm not empire but you a collection of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4104">TS</a>]

01:08:26   planets trying to strife it's her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4106">TS</a>]

01:08:28   journals her dead hand guiding them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4108">TS</a>]

01:08:30   through this fragmentary knowledge being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4110">TS</a>]

01:08:32   presented through sort of a flawed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4112">TS</a>]

01:08:33   grandchild who matures and become [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4113">TS</a>]

01:08:35   someone and you know that happens though [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4115">TS</a>]

01:08:37   it's all just separate individual weird [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4117">TS</a>]

01:08:39   stuff that happens and that's why it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4119">TS</a>]

01:08:41   doesn't work for me is that it's not a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4121">TS</a>]

01:08:43   story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4123">TS</a>]

01:08:43   no lightning and that's that's what I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4123">TS</a>]

01:08:46   was complaining about what the plot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4126">TS</a>]

01:08:47   centers use write the story as an excuse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4127">TS</a>]

01:08:49   to get them to move around and explore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4129">TS</a>]

01:08:51   this world because he really just wants [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4131">TS</a>]

01:08:53   to show you this world he's envisioned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4133">TS</a>]

01:08:55   and that's great but you know this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4135">TS</a>]

01:08:57   not the medium for them it's a text [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4137">TS</a>]

01:08:59   Archer without the interactive part yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4139">TS</a>]

01:09:01   I don't it's an info dump it's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4141">TS</a>]

01:09:03   infidel yeah when telling you from 500 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4143">TS</a>]

01:09:06   pages like I've got all these cool ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4146">TS</a>]

01:09:08   really envision things i like i like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4148">TS</a>]

01:09:10   people at the edge of the solar system [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4150">TS</a>]

01:09:12   who are building the ship to go to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4152">TS</a>]

01:09:13   another world and the AI thing i really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4153">TS</a>]

01:09:16   like i like the word salad actually of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4156">TS</a>]

01:09:19   the day is that are trying to be people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4159">TS</a>]

01:09:22   and that occasionally you instead of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4162">TS</a>]

01:09:24   getting these weird info dumps of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4164">TS</a>]

01:09:27   reference material you get these words [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4167">TS</a>]

01:09:30   salads of its like this is how an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4170">TS</a>]

01:09:32   artificial intelligence thinks and its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4172">TS</a>]

01:09:33   trying to put things together [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4173">TS</a>]

01:09:35   I thought that was pretty cool but you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4175">TS</a>]

01:09:38   know again that these are the things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4178">TS</a>]

01:09:39   that I mean I can see why people would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4179">TS</a>]

01:09:41   like the Grand Tour and like this great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4181">TS</a>]

01:09:43   writer who has written so many things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4183">TS</a>]

01:09:46   giving you this vision of the future and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4186">TS</a>]

01:09:48   revisiting some of the territory and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4188">TS</a>]

01:09:50   some of his most famous work other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4190">TS</a>]

01:09:51   things i can say that i liked about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4191">TS</a>]

01:09:53   but in the end I mean this is it's weird [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4193">TS</a>]

01:09:55   this is like when I try to tell people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4195">TS</a>]

01:09:56   about why i didn't like inception and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4196">TS</a>]

01:09:59   and it's it's not that I thought it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4199">TS</a>]

01:10:01   bad like poorly executed it's that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4201">TS</a>]

01:10:05   thought about it for a long time and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4205">TS</a>]

01:10:07   decided that I didn't like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4207">TS</a>]

01:10:09   that's not the same as saying oh this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4209">TS</a>]

01:10:11   a crappy movie it's like this is a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4211">TS</a>]

01:10:13   interesting work that I want to think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4213">TS</a>]

01:10:15   about a lot and then in the end I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4215">TS</a>]

01:10:17   verdict is actually i think by thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4217">TS</a>]

01:10:20   about it i've determined that I hate it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4220">TS</a>]

01:10:21   and that's sort of how I feel about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4221">TS</a>]

01:10:23   is that i had to think about it a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4223">TS</a>]

01:10:24   about why i had the feelings i did about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4224">TS</a>]

01:10:26   it but in the end I don't I think it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4226">TS</a>]

01:10:29   failure but I I know I i would argue yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4229">TS</a>]

01:10:32   play at to represent the best piece of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4232">TS</a>]

01:10:35   literature in a year [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4235">TS</a>]

01:10:37   of any genre it should be the book that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4237">TS</a>]

01:10:39   makes you think the most whether or not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4239">TS</a>]

01:10:41   i like it or not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4241">TS</a>]

01:10:42   right so I is ideally I would like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4242">TS</a>]

01:10:45   and it would make me think well I me but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4245">TS</a>]

01:10:47   i think but it depends on what you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4247">TS</a>]

01:10:49   reading right then i have lots of notes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4249">TS</a>]

01:10:51   during blackout does that mean it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4251">TS</a>]

01:10:52   best backup [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4252">TS</a>]

01:10:53   I like what I thought in blackout is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4253">TS</a>]

01:10:55   mostly why God why the benefile I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4255">TS</a>]

01:10:59   think i came down somewhere in between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4259">TS</a>]

01:11:01   you Jason and Scott which is that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4261">TS</a>]

01:11:03   don't know that i have the energy to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4263">TS</a>]

01:11:05   hate this book is no middle ground [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4265">TS</a>]

01:11:12   through it and I'm reading it you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4272">TS</a>]

01:11:14   in my major amount of reading time which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4274">TS</a>]

01:11:16   is like right before i go to bed and let [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4276">TS</a>]

01:11:18   me tell you how this is not a great book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4278">TS</a>]

01:11:19   three right-handers go to bed because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4279">TS</a>]

01:11:20   only unless you want to go to bed in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4280">TS</a>]

01:11:22   which case it was great but yeah it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4282">TS</a>]

01:11:25   just I don't know it's I I didn't I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4285">TS</a>]

01:11:27   don't the energy you spoke in this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4287">TS</a>]

01:11:30   fascinating i mean i-i love that we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4290">TS</a>]

01:11:32   got all these different different views [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4292">TS</a>]

01:11:33   about this book and you know again I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4293">TS</a>]

01:11:35   talked and talked to people who hated it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4295">TS</a>]

01:11:37   and then I've seen people love it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4297">TS</a>]

01:11:40   it's won awards and I don't hate it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4300">TS</a>]

01:11:43   not it's not it's me it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4303">TS</a>]

01:11:44   incompetently I mean again my apologies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4304">TS</a>]

01:11:47   my apologies to mirror grant and her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4307">TS</a>]

01:11:50   writer behind the pseudonym but that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4310">TS</a>]

01:11:52   book that's not executed well at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4312">TS</a>]

01:11:54   it's a poorly written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4314">TS</a>]

01:11:56   it's just a bad book is poorly written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4316">TS</a>]

01:11:58   it doesn't make any sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4318">TS</a>]

01:11:59   it's bad in every conceivable way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4319">TS</a>]

01:12:02   essentially this is not like that this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4322">TS</a>]

01:12:04   is not the work of somebody doesn't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4324">TS</a>]

01:12:05   what he's doing he knows exactly what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4325">TS</a>]

01:12:07   he's doing and and full credit for that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4327">TS</a>]

01:12:10   he's got a lot of really interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4330">TS</a>]

01:12:11   ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4331">TS</a>]

01:12:12   there's a lot that he's thrown in here I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4332">TS</a>]

01:12:14   don't think it works but you gotta give [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4334">TS</a>]

01:12:16   him credit it is not an empty box that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4336">TS</a>]

01:12:19   he's trying to foist off on this all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4339">TS</a>]

01:12:21   he's a smart guy is is something didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4341">TS</a>]

01:12:24   something did not work here it's things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4344">TS</a>]

01:12:27   that are bland can make us crazier than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4347">TS</a>]

01:12:29   things we hate because yeah I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4349">TS</a>]

01:12:31   strongly about something that you hate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4351">TS</a>]

01:12:33   your like here's why and these are the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4353">TS</a>]

01:12:35   wrong and just run off into other stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4355">TS</a>]

01:12:37   it's horrible when its blend you're like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4357">TS</a>]

01:12:39   oh there's so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4359">TS</a>]

01:12:40   what I will say there was one thing I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4360">TS</a>]

01:12:42   really did like in this was the rocks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4362">TS</a>]

01:12:43   warm i thought that was very clever very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4363">TS</a>]

01:12:46   well hidden throughout it and it built [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4366">TS</a>]

01:12:48   up it was the only plot thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4368">TS</a>]

01:12:49   actually sort of made sense and was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4369">TS</a>]

01:12:51   through line to the end but then when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4371">TS</a>]

01:12:52   you determined the cause of it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4372">TS</a>]

01:12:54   absurd an interesting but the idea of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4374">TS</a>]

01:12:57   and how it was built into the plot was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4377">TS</a>]

01:12:58   actually rather close yeah that was the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4378">TS</a>]

01:13:01   point where i started to get interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4381">TS</a>]

01:13:02   as I actually liked the mystery part of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4382">TS</a>]

01:13:04   it and that might think among my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4384">TS</a>]

01:13:05   favorite chapters in there are the ones [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4385">TS</a>]

01:13:07   with the inspector was they try to sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4387">TS</a>]

01:13:08   of puzzle through this is what we have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4388">TS</a>]

01:13:10   here she is here she is yes it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4390">TS</a>]

01:13:13   referred to as he settles we'll take a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4393">TS</a>]

01:13:15   look because she earlier on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4395">TS</a>]

01:13:17   did you notice i got noticed something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4397">TS</a>]

01:13:18   there's a trick that there's a trick in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4398">TS</a>]

01:13:20   there every time the inspector genette [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4400">TS</a>]

01:13:22   is mentioned there's never i would I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4402">TS</a>]

01:13:24   can't confirm this I haven't searched [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4404">TS</a>]

01:13:26   the entire novel there's never a gender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4406">TS</a>]

01:13:27   use always on Jeanette which is you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4407">TS</a>]

01:13:29   typically all I saw uses hehe yeah I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4409">TS</a>]

01:13:32   think we're saying yes because i noted i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4412">TS</a>]

01:13:34   saw it there and set and thought to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4414">TS</a>]

01:13:35   myself wasn't when I was not a willing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4415">TS</a>]

01:13:37   but it 20 but in 2312 could have people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4417">TS</a>]

01:13:41   who identify as male and that means that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4421">TS</a>]

01:13:43   the year their penis is larger than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4423">TS</a>]

01:13:45   their vagina [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4425">TS</a>]

01:13:46   I not that they don't have both also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4426">TS</a>]

01:13:48   also i love that we haven't invented we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4428">TS</a>]

01:13:50   have invented new pronouns despite make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4430">TS</a>]

01:13:52   what we have but Kim Stanley Robinson [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4432">TS</a>]

01:13:53   has to translate them for our crazy 20th [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4433">TS</a>]

01:13:55   century years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4435">TS</a>]

01:13:56   how about a novel just about inspector [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4436">TS</a>]

01:13:58   genette because I kinda like that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4438">TS</a>]

01:14:01   reminded me of the the main character in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4441">TS</a>]

01:14:03   the in the book that we read i can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4443">TS</a>]

01:14:06   remember now Scott it was the copy that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4446">TS</a>]

01:14:08   the space based on door yeah happening [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4448">TS</a>]

01:14:10   somali i love that guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4450">TS</a>]

01:14:11   zombie that guy that you know yeah he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4451">TS</a>]

01:14:14   had a space he was with a wonderful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4454">TS</a>]

01:14:15   character the best character in the yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4455">TS</a>]

01:14:17   the thing that was reminded me about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4457">TS</a>]

01:14:19   here which again speaking of space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4459">TS</a>]

01:14:21   operate deep deep space humanity out the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4461">TS</a>]

01:14:24   outer solar system kind of fun thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4464">TS</a>]

01:14:26   books that i enjoyed more than this one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4466">TS</a>]

01:14:27   but so okay we have five we have five [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4467">TS</a>]

01:14:30   novels who uh I'm gonna I'm gonna ask [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4470">TS</a>]

01:14:33   each of you two were two to rank them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4473">TS</a>]

01:14:35   really quickly from best to worst [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4475">TS</a>]

01:14:37   because i think that would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4477">TS</a>]

01:14:38   interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4478">TS</a>]

01:14:39   I go first I i say thrown to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4479">TS</a>]

01:14:43   crescent moon first and then I have a a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4483">TS</a>]

01:14:47   a large drop off and then I think I say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4487">TS</a>]

01:14:49   captain for patrol and then red shirts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4489">TS</a>]

01:14:53   because i actually like those and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4493">TS</a>]

01:14:55   it's 2312 and then it's blackout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4495">TS</a>]

01:14:57   Scott what about you don't understand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4497">TS</a>]

01:15:00   that ranking but awards falls somewhere [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4500">TS</a>]

01:15:03   between twenty somewhere around 2312 I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4503">TS</a>]

01:15:06   not sure above or below [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4506">TS</a>]

01:15:09   ah so 2312 is my first choice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4509">TS</a>]

01:15:13   ven captain for people's alliance throne [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4513">TS</a>]

01:15:16   of the crescent moon redshirts no award [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4516">TS</a>]

01:15:19   yes no blackouts like we agree on no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4519">TS</a>]

01:15:22   award and blackout yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4522">TS</a>]

01:15:24   damn i'll say captain Orbital Sciences [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4524">TS</a>]

01:15:27   my favorite I then i will say thrown to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4527">TS</a>]

01:15:31   the crescent moon which is second should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4531">TS</a>]

01:15:32   win or should have won because of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4532">TS</a>]

01:15:35   series thing redshirts 2012 didn't read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4535">TS</a>]

01:15:38   blackout and feel like I'm okay with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4538">TS</a>]

01:15:40   that yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4540">TS</a>]

01:15:40   glen i think i would go in order [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4540">TS</a>]

01:15:44   I guess it's things i like to actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4544">TS</a>]

01:15:46   enjoyed reading the water enjoyed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4546">TS</a>]

01:15:48   reading them which I hope corresponds to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4548">TS</a>]

01:15:50   order i think i should be recommending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4550">TS</a>]

01:15:51   to people is I think capital patrols [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4551">TS</a>]

01:15:54   Alliance red shirts throw the crescent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4554">TS</a>]

01:15:56   moon and I LSA differentiate between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4556">TS</a>]

01:15:58   them but you know sort of loosely in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4558">TS</a>]

01:16:00   that order and then a very very very far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4560">TS</a>]

01:16:02   down 2312 and i would not recommend [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4562">TS</a>]

01:16:04   blackout anyone about you Monty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4564">TS</a>]

01:16:06   don't throw the crescent moon made me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4566">TS</a>]

01:16:09   want to read more by that author red [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4569">TS</a>]

01:16:11   shirts made me generally away with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4571">TS</a>]

01:16:15   reading more skulls you want to read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4575">TS</a>]

01:18:24   it's got some of the setting stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4704">TS</a>]

01:18:26   culturally that throw the crescent moon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4706">TS</a>]

01:18:42   souls and there's a whole Brotherhood of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMa3Mlac/4722">TS</a>]
