Ep 85 - Legends & Lattes

Even if you are not a coffee person, there is something to be said about a warm, well lit shop with the smell of roasted coffee beans wafting out the front door. Especially fr those who like to curl up with a good book. Like a fantasy book. Now imagine such a coffee shop set in the fantasy book itself. This month we are reading about such an awesome little whole in the wall run by an orc and a succubus in Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

Ep 84 - The Milky Way

It’s always best to hear someone’s story from them. Which is why we have autobiographies. So when learning the story of the Milky Way, it would only make sense to hear it from her perspective. This month we discuss The Milky Way by Moiya McTier where we get a lot of information about the creation of existence right from the sharp-tongued, sassy, horse’s mouth.

Ep 83 - The Kaiju Preservation Society

Kaiju are giant, monstrous creatures, like Godzilla, best known for destroying cities and wreaking havoc on the planet. But what if they needed our help to stay safe? If there was a place where kaiju could live without harming our world, and could be potentially hunted or harvested for financial gain, you better believe people would try to take advantage of them! This month we explore that idea in The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

Ep 82 - Starter Villain

A lot of people dream about a mysterious uncle dying and leaving them money; so much so its a trope in most media. But what if a mysterious uncle did you leave money. And not just a little, millions, billions, even trillions of dollars? That would be awesome! except for the fact its all tied up in his business that you now have to run. The business of being a villain. Oh and your cat has been spying on you for years and was sent by your uncle to do so. That’s exactly what happens to Charlie in this month’s book, Starter Villain by John Scalzi.

Ep 80 - Wool

We’ve all heard someone say something to the effect of, “that’s just how we do it and always have.” Imagine that being applied to everything in your life; who is allowed to have children, who is in control of the government, why can no one go outside? Now imagine even asking those questions would get you executed. Welcome to the world in the Silo, based on the book Wool by Hugh Howey

Ep 78 - Daemon

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage right now causing people to question its use and how it will effect society. But what if it didn’t take AI to bring down the world we know, what if all it took was a really complex decision tree programmed by a genius and set out upon the world after his death? This month we take a look at the first in a two part series where it happens and even though people die, fortunes are lost and countries could fall, we have to ask, is that a bad thing? Find out in this month’s book, Daemon by Daniel Suarez.
