Hey gang, Eden here. Like everyone, we must sometimes pay tribute to the cold gods of Capitalism. So this is your rare reminder that we're on Patreon. If we reach $100 a month (which we're close to doing), we'll read The Book of the New Sun. https://t.co/OWV3c0fUE6

Music played: Rintrah - Fearful Symmetry https://t.co/7YjjPzvWI9 Kayo Dot - Oracle By Severed Head

We discuss the too-often bland and safe nature of science fiction and fantasy before diving in to a work that's anything but! Body horror and familial obsession mix in this arresting and clever novella about a man sawed in half! https://t.co/K6pxxUNTBQ

Music played: Hypomanic Daydream - Dissociative https://t.co/7sCVzPZX1T Editrix - The Big E

This time around, we peer into the world, which is actually many things and not just one (and that's good!) Then, we look at Ursula Whitcher's North Continent Ribbon! Weird spaceships, radical politics, and interesting AI mix in this short story suite! https://t.co/hJALbThEyM

Music played: Mathilde - Kepler- 186f https://t.co/ghRQXIcLLn Imipolex - Martian Blood Mother

We start by asking the important questions: which member of the Friends cast would you follow into battle? Then, we tackle Roger Zelazny's feverish Creatures of Light and Darkness, touching on myth, explosive prose, and Zelazny's unfortunate misogyny. https://t.co/dyQ5OQGsGc

Music played: Knives - PHD

We explore Nisi Shawl's Everfair, a mostly successful attempt at writing less racist and more "complete" historical fiction. Nuclear dirigibles, proto-socialist societies, cool knife-hands mix and mingle with geopolitics and complex racial identities! https://t.co/THilqwFiq4

Music played: Changeling - Changeling

Eden flies solo, covering the masterful, subtle, and rich Growing Up Weightless by the criminally under-read and under-recognized John M. Ford. Lunar politics, coming of age, and weird interstellar drives clash in this sci-fi bildungsroman! https://t.co/WR9GYTADUD

Music played: Slave Agent - Forced to Suffer https://t.co/ULlMETPG0A Grails - Silver Bells

Langdon and Eden kick things off by discussing how good Metallica really are. Then, they dive into Oliver K. Langmead's "Calypso", a beautiful, if limited, verse novel about terraforming, memory, personhood, and endings. https://t.co/SQr6zoloCw

Music played: Object Unto Earth - Alas I Hop Along https://t.co/QjUQskNyWm Cave Sermon - Hopeless Magic

Eden and Langdon both exist (maybe) and they discuss the historiography of the Paris Commune on the left. Then, they discuss the beautiful and problematic "Five Ways to Forgiveness" by Ursula K. Le Guin, a short story suite about slavery and feminism. https://t.co/LPYdRkyQdR

Music played: Kyros - Esoterica https://t.co/wn2jcFGp72 Max Cooper - The Sun in a Box

This time around, we discuss what can be done in our personal lives, regardless of the potential for a revolution. Then, they dive into the mesmerizing verse-prose of Jason Guriel's Forgotten Work, a novel in heroic couplets! Also, Eden dies. RIP. https://t.co/nPy8auKAvN
