00:01:16   buzzy nation fuzzy nasally nation which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/76">TS</a>]

00:01:20   is a which is a recasting I guess of an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/80">TS</a>]

00:01:23   older book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/83">TS</a>]

00:01:24   yeah so that's interesting we'll start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/84">TS</a>]

00:01:26   we'll start there why not if there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/86">TS</a>]

00:01:27   book called little fuzzy which is by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/87">TS</a>]

00:01:31   beam Piper H beam Piper from the sixties [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/91">TS</a>]

00:01:35   and it's a very sort of sixties book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/95">TS</a>]

00:01:38   where there's a protagonist with a pipe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/98">TS</a>]

00:01:40   and easie he's healthy discovers he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/100">TS</a>]

00:01:43   works for a mining company and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/103">TS</a>]

00:01:45   discovers little cute aliens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/105">TS</a>]

00:01:47   you had me at protagonist of the pipe is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/107">TS</a>]

00:01:49   a savvy guy and what's funny is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/109">TS</a>]

00:01:51   scholars book is coming out its I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/111">TS</a>]

00:01:55   believe little fuzzy is in the public [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/115">TS</a>]

00:01:58   domain but here is some sequels that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/118">TS</a>]

00:02:02   under copyright and scalzi help H beam [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/122">TS</a>]

00:02:06   Piper did so scalzi decided for unto it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/126">TS</a>]

00:02:10   i think unexplained reasons I think he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/130">TS</a>]

00:02:11   was just kind of in a funk and so he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/131">TS</a>]

00:02:13   decided to write basically as fanfiction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/133">TS</a>]

00:02:15   a a reboot of of little fuzzy basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/135">TS</a>]

00:02:19   a modern john scalzi type retelling of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/139">TS</a>]

00:02:22   the story of that of that book and by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/142">TS</a>]

00:02:25   the time you get to the end he says that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/145">TS</a>]

00:02:27   he really liked it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/147">TS</a>]

00:02:28   so he had his agent or lawyer or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/148">TS</a>]

00:02:30   somebody approached the estate of Piper [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/150">TS</a>]

00:02:34   and asked if they could have permission [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/154">TS</a>]

00:02:36   to publish it and they said yes so this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/156">TS</a>]

00:02:38   book that was sort of written on a lark [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/158">TS</a>]

00:02:40   is is now the new john scalzi novel i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/160">TS</a>]

00:02:44   find that kind of a fascinating idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/164">TS</a>]

00:02:45   just did you know sort of broadly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/165">TS</a>]

00:02:47   speaking it's there's a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/167">TS</a>]

00:02:49   interesting you know I think there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/169">TS</a>]

00:02:52   there's so much function you know so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/172">TS</a>]

00:02:53   much attention on being original which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/173">TS</a>]

00:02:55   is which is great i think obviously it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/175">TS</a>]

00:02:58   always cool to see new stories but at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/178">TS</a>]

00:02:59   the same time we all know as anyone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/179">TS</a>]

00:03:01   who's written anything knows when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/181">TS</a>]

00:03:03   get down to the base of it there are no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/183">TS</a>]

00:03:04   new stories so I think there's always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/184">TS</a>]

00:03:07   it's always interesting to think about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/187">TS</a>]

00:03:08   some of our favorite works i think and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/188">TS</a>]

00:03:10   wonder how how could that have gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/190">TS</a>]

00:03:12   differently or you know what what if i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/192">TS</a>]

00:03:16   change this one thing would make the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/196">TS</a>]

00:03:17   story really different or not i mean i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/197">TS</a>]

00:03:19   think that's a fascinating thing to to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/199">TS</a>]

00:03:21   play around with and I think it's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/201">TS</a>]

00:03:22   that at the root of sort of what makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/202">TS</a>]

00:03:24   scalzi kind of think he's kinda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/204">TS</a>]

00:03:26   emblematic of a lot of you know sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/206">TS</a>]

00:03:28   the modern genre of science fiction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/208">TS</a>]

00:03:29   writers which is a lot of it is sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/209">TS</a>]

00:03:31   a mosh and pastiche in some ways to two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/211">TS</a>]

00:03:35   things that have gone before because so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/215">TS</a>]

00:03:36   much of it is so established at two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/216">TS</a>]

00:03:39   words with a French pronunciation think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/219">TS</a>]

00:03:41   I can I think I can do this all about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/221">TS</a>]

00:03:42   guess the effects of people that i wish [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/222">TS</a>]

00:03:45   i could say with this podcast is over in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/225">TS</a>]

00:03:46   French but I don't even know what okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/226">TS</a>]

00:03:48   if you need dick doesn't that mean this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/228">TS</a>]

00:03:51   place is dead but i'm really speaking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/231">TS</a>]

00:03:53   things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/233">TS</a>]

00:03:54   well yeah but as you say also reminds me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/234">TS</a>]

00:03:56   of them another writer but not as big a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/236">TS</a>]

00:03:58   fan of charles stross who I think a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/238">TS</a>]

00:04:00   of his writing a lot of his stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/240">TS</a>]

00:04:03   borrow or tip their hat two things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/243">TS</a>]

00:04:07   came before he's got for example series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/247">TS</a>]

00:04:09   that that plays sort of broadly in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/249">TS</a>]

00:04:12   Lovecraft you know world and so the it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/252">TS</a>]

00:04:15   interesting to see them sort of a not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/255">TS</a>]

00:04:16   necessarily appropriate but but build [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/256">TS</a>]

00:04:18   off of these these older public-domain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/258">TS</a>]

00:04:20   works and create something that's new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/260">TS</a>]

00:04:23   but also kind of old took and borrowed a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/263">TS</a>]

00:04:27   book from 50 years ago and basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/267">TS</a>]

00:04:29   said what would a modern a modern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/269">TS</a>]

00:04:31   science fiction writer do with the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/271">TS</a>]

00:04:33   story but you know with very different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/273">TS</a>]

00:04:36   kind of expectations for what a modern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/276">TS</a>]

00:04:38   science fiction novelist it's much more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/278">TS</a>]

00:04:40   complex care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/280">TS</a>]

00:04:41   derstand it's more sort of political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/281">TS</a>]

00:04:43   stuff happening and and and and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/283">TS</a>]

00:04:46   interesting although he said he read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/286">TS</a>]

00:04:49   repeatedly as a kid but when he came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/289">TS</a>]

00:04:51   time to write it he didn't read it again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/291">TS</a>]

00:04:53   so it and apparently it diverges in many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/293">TS</a>]

00:04:57   ways from the book because then he read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/297">TS</a>]

00:04:58   the book after he had written his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/298">TS</a>]

00:05:00   version of it was like oh I have no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/300">TS</a>]

00:05:01   memory of this part so it's interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/301">TS</a>]

00:05:03   it's sort of like his retelling of his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/303">TS</a>]

00:05:05   memory of the book and not the actual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/305">TS</a>]

00:05:08   book it's kind of a good idea i think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/308">TS</a>]

00:05:12   is but yeah I mean you could see that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/312">TS</a>]

00:05:13   with I I'm surprised it doesn't happen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/313">TS</a>]

00:05:17   more but you know books are owned by the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/317">TS</a>]

00:05:20   writers and or or if they passed away by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/320">TS</a>]

00:05:23   their estates and so you don't see what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/323">TS</a>]

00:05:26   you see with movies and TV shows where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/326">TS</a>]

00:05:27   Corporation owns the rights and use it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/327">TS</a>]

00:05:31   as an asset for them to repurpose in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/331">TS</a>]

00:05:34   some way and so you see reboots and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/334">TS</a>]

00:05:36   remakes of movies and TV shows all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/336">TS</a>]

00:05:38   time but you don't see it with books and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/338">TS</a>]

00:05:40   it's actually kind of funny it would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/340">TS</a>]

00:05:41   interesting yet you do see it on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/341">TS</a>]

00:05:43   occasion I mean think of all very rare [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/343">TS</a>]

00:05:46   well but you mean you think of all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/346">TS</a>]

00:05:47   states that sort of you know they dub [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/347">TS</a>]

00:05:49   you know Aaron's parents to following [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/349">TS</a>]

00:05:51   story you know how many people right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/351">TS</a>]

00:05:53   Robert Ludlum novels your wounds right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/353">TS</a>]

00:05:55   yeah that's not the same as I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/355">TS</a>]

00:05:57   imagine a modern sci-fi novelist doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/357">TS</a>]

00:06:01   dune right i mean Lois McMaster Bujold [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/361">TS</a>]

00:06:04   dune right fuck starting battles for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/364">TS</a>]

00:06:08   storage here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/368">TS</a>]

00:06:09   well sure fighting Paul would be miles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/369">TS</a>]

00:06:11   writer now she's capable enough to write [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/371">TS</a>]

00:06:14   an interesting characters but just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/374">TS</a>]

00:06:15   imagine something like that where you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/375">TS</a>]

00:06:17   take a modern sci-fi writer and some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/377">TS</a>]

00:06:19   classic that was written so long ago [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/379">TS</a>]

00:06:21   that presumably it would be told in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/381">TS</a>]

00:06:23   very different way now this is which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/383">TS</a>]

00:06:24   this is a game that we should start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/384">TS</a>]

00:06:26   that's a good a shots of older science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/386">TS</a>]

00:06:28   fiction with newer all that I've got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/388">TS</a>]

00:06:30   lois mcmaster bujold is doing you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/390">TS</a>]

00:06:32   top that one doe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/392">TS</a>]

00:06:35   hmm i have a child china melville [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/395">TS</a>]

00:06:39   starship troopers who that's pretty good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/399">TS</a>]

00:06:42   how about Nick Hardaway's foundation who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/402">TS</a>]

00:06:50   actually that would be I would probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/410">TS</a>]

00:06:52   way better than the original [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/412">TS</a>]

00:12:16   religion as the propulsion system for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/736">TS</a>]

00:13:46   known for his old man's war series which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/826">TS</a>]

00:13:49   is actually for books the original old [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/829">TS</a>]

00:13:53   man's war highly acclaimed and i believe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/833">TS</a>]

00:13:56   has just been optioned is probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/836">TS</a>]

00:13:58   possibly going to be made into a major [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/838">TS</a>]

00:14:00   motion picture I've heard but that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/840">TS</a>]

00:14:05   that you know that's a good book i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/845">TS</a>]

00:14:07   assume you guys have have read that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/847">TS</a>]

00:14:10   have you right now all those PS i read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/850">TS</a>]

00:14:13   all four alright i thought i read all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/853">TS</a>]

00:14:16   four of them but it turns out there the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/856">TS</a>]

00:14:17   first 10 it seems like a little too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/857">TS</a>]

00:14:20   close too close or or I i read the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/860">TS</a>]

00:14:23   three and I've completely forgot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/863">TS</a>]

00:14:25   everything but also old man's war the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/865">TS</a>]

00:14:29   premise if it's been a little while now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/869">TS</a>]

00:14:31   is that when you're on earth and you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/871">TS</a>]

00:14:33   really old [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/873">TS</a>]

00:14:35   you can sign up to basically join the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/875">TS</a>]

00:14:38   space army and if you join the space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/878">TS</a>]

00:14:40   army they grow you a new clone body [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/880">TS</a>]

00:14:43   that's young and healthy so that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/883">TS</a>]

00:14:46   plus because otherwise you're gonna get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/886">TS</a>]

00:14:47   it and it's green so it's green but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/887">TS</a>]

00:14:50   downside is you can never go back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/890">TS</a>]

00:14:52   earth and because the Space wars are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/892">TS</a>]

00:14:55   really tough you'll probably just died [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/895">TS</a>]

00:14:57   in battle but you'll have it has its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/897">TS</a>]

00:15:01   pros and it's comes but you know so that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/901">TS</a>]

00:15:05   and that's how it starts like the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/905">TS</a>]

00:15:07   chapter right where this guy John joy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/907">TS</a>]

00:15:10   out of promise right yeah yeah a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/910">TS</a>]

00:15:15   people if it's funny it gets it gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/915">TS</a>]

00:15:17   compared a lot 22 ender's game and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/917">TS</a>]

00:15:20   think that's because there are some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   there are some there are some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/922">TS</a>]

00:15:24   superficial similarities and the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/924">TS</a>]

00:15:26   sort of high-concept pitch that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/926">TS</a>]

00:15:28   often hear it it's like ender's game but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/928">TS</a>]

00:15:30   with old people and I think you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/930">TS</a>]

00:15:33   it's funny because a one of my good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/933">TS</a>]

00:15:35   friends he had put off reading it for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/935">TS</a>]

00:15:38   long time and then you just recently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/938">TS</a>]

00:15:40   started reading it goes wow this is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/940">TS</a>]

00:15:42   is much better I kept putting it off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/942">TS</a>]

00:15:43   because people kept comparing to ender's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/943">TS</a>]

00:15:44   game he said like you know which I liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/944">TS</a>]

00:15:46   but like I didn't necessarily want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/946">TS</a>]

00:15:47   read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/947">TS</a>]

00:15:48   you know am and I think they're there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/948">TS</a>]

00:15:50   are at the kind of does the book of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/950">TS</a>]

00:15:52   service because although i really like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/952">TS</a>]

00:15:55   ender's game and think is it one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/955">TS</a>]

00:15:56   most seminal books with the last science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/956">TS</a>]

00:15:58   fiction books the last like you know 30 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/958">TS</a>]

00:16:00   years or so they are very different in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/960">TS</a>]

00:16:03   tone if nothing else the style is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/963">TS</a>]

00:16:05   high line like which I you know I look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/965">TS</a>]

00:16:07   at the wikipedia entry and people have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/967">TS</a>]

00:16:09   yes if people are mentioning the two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/969">TS</a>]

00:16:11   books that I was going to mention it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/971">TS</a>]

00:16:12   like which is starship troopers in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/972">TS</a>]

00:16:14   forever war and there is so much high [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/974">TS</a>]

00:16:16   line that runs through especially this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/976">TS</a>]

00:16:18   series it's definitely an homage to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/978">TS</a>]

00:16:20   highline in some ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/980">TS</a>]

00:16:21   ya know i think that's that's definitely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/981">TS</a>]

00:16:24   true i mean i think it's it seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/984">TS</a>]

00:16:27   lighter to me then then some of those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/987">TS</a>]

00:16:29   other other books I mean a lighter than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/989">TS</a>]

00:16:31   the forever war yeah just a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/991">TS</a>]

00:16:33   uh-huh the downer also just in terms of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/993">TS</a>]

00:16:37   the narrative in terms of the the you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/997">TS</a>]

00:16:40   know the protagonist viewpoint that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1000">TS</a>]

00:16:41   see things through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:43   I don't know I i find it maybe just more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1003">TS</a>]

00:16:46   accessible or something there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1006">TS</a>]

00:16:47   something about his writing that is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1007">TS</a>]

00:16:48   is very colloquial is very accessible by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1008">TS</a>]

00:16:51   having an old man who turns into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1011">TS</a>]

00:16:52   soldier you get you get to tell that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1012">TS</a>]

00:16:57   get to tell a war story with this funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:59   viewpoint which is a an old man so he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:02   got a whole life's worth the worth of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:04   experiences and although he's not you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1024">TS</a>]

00:17:06   know used to being out in space and all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1026">TS</a>]

00:17:17   you know and there are some interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:18   characters and it is even though as his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1038">TS</a>]

00:17:20   his compatriots get you know killed in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1040">TS</a>]

00:17:25   these horrible firefighters from time to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1045">TS</a>]

00:17:26   time it is still there's sort of a light [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1046">TS</a>]

00:17:28   aspect to it to right and there's other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:33   i don't know i mean you know there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:35   there's sort of this whole like culture [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   shock sort of with the whole when they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:40   put them in the new bodies all of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1060">TS</a>]

00:17:43   sudden you know there is this moment of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1063">TS</a>]

00:17:45   hey we're all young again you know let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:49   take advantage of everything the right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:50   has to offer us basically so but he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:52   doesn't ignore that they actually set it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1072">TS</a>]

00:17:53   up we're like there's a period of time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:55   with a water traveling to wherever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1075">TS</a>]

00:17:56   they're going to get slaughtered where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1076">TS</a>]

00:17:58   it's basically party on the ship because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1078">TS</a>]

00:18:00   everybody's in there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:01   new bar in their new young bodies young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1081">TS</a>]

00:18:03   athletic like super soldier body's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1083">TS</a>]

00:18:05   like yep you know what to do and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:08   and then you know in a couple of days [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:09   we'll go down on the planet and most of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1089">TS</a>]

00:18:12   you will get killed for the glory of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1092">TS</a>]

00:18:13   human race [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1093">TS</a>]

00:18:15   yeah well I mean and that's where that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1095">TS</a>]

00:18:16   where the sort of i feel like that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:18   where it gets a little more complexity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1098">TS</a>]

00:18:19   you know along the lines of some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1099">TS</a>]

00:18:21   those other books in terms of why is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1101">TS</a>]

00:18:24   this war began and I think that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1104">TS</a>]

00:18:25   intensifies as the books go on right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:27   rise this war being fought who are they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1107">TS</a>]

00:18:29   fighting exactly you know and i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:33   there's some really interesting like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1113">TS</a>]

00:18:34   point out that about them not going back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1114">TS</a>]

00:18:35   to earth which as I recall was a sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1115">TS</a>]

00:18:37   like a political move right basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1117">TS</a>]

00:18:39   because you know in theory these guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:42   are like genetically engineered better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1122">TS</a>]

00:18:43   than all the people on on on earth so it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1123">TS</a>]

00:18:46   wouldn't really be you know they're kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1126">TS</a>]

00:18:49   of worried that these these super [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1129">TS</a>]

00:18:51   soldiers might turn on member something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1131">TS</a>]

00:18:52   eventually when they they want to keep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1132">TS</a>]

00:18:55   as it turns out but the politicians sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1135">TS</a>]

00:18:57   of want to keep the earth under their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1137">TS</a>]

00:19:00   thumb and answer so what is almost like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:02   a it's not quite as zoo but it's almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1142">TS</a>]

00:19:04   like that where it's like you know when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1144">TS</a>]

00:19:06   your honor if you're on earth and once [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1146">TS</a>]

00:19:07   you leave her if you don't go back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1147">TS</a>]

00:19:09   you see it's just like a little preserve [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:11   of where all the original humans live [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1151">TS</a>]

00:19:14   and then there's the big wide the big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1154">TS</a>]

00:19:16   bite world which I love the widescreen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1156">TS</a>]

00:19:19   aspect of it to where they're a bunch of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1159">TS</a>]

00:19:20   different alien races and there and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1160">TS</a>]

00:19:22   they're they're sort of different human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:25   groups as well and there's like search [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:28   for territory and and they try to take [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1168">TS</a>]

00:19:30   planets and take them back so there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:31   like the politics that's going on and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1171">TS</a>]

00:19:34   there's the the especially the CIA kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1174">TS</a>]

00:19:36   of military intelligence that's going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:39   so it's not just the the grunts and in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:43   fact the character kind of works its way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1183">TS</a>]

00:19:46   up and gets a to peek inside the though [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1186">TS</a>]

00:19:48   the way the war machine works so so he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1188">TS</a>]

00:19:51   not just an infantry guy all right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1191">TS</a>]

00:19:53   as we as we progress you know as we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1193">TS</a>]

00:19:55   follow them throughout the series he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1195">TS</a>]

00:19:57   gets two more increasingly important [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1197">TS</a>]

00:19:59   roles to the point where was the third [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1199">TS</a>]

00:20:02   book that he become sort of the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:04   leader of this colony or one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1204">TS</a>]

00:20:07   major people like sort of founding a new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1207">TS</a>]

00:20:09   colony which is kind of any i mean i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1209">TS</a>]

00:20:11   think that the book has a really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1211">TS</a>]

00:20:12   interesting plot in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1212">TS</a>]

00:20:15   there is this whole again like you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1215">TS</a>]

00:20:17   talking about the land grab type thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:18   and then the earth takes it to sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1218">TS</a>]

00:20:22   the next logical step in some ways to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1222">TS</a>]

00:20:25   how are they going to found a colony [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1225">TS</a>]

00:20:27   that is not in danger of being attacked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1227">TS</a>]

00:20:30   and and occupied by these other aliens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1230">TS</a>]

00:20:33   and that is you know it's basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1233">TS</a>]

00:20:36   let's let's not tell anybody where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1236">TS</a>]

00:20:38   they're going like let's convince the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1238">TS</a>]

00:20:40   overall going one place and then send [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1240">TS</a>]

00:20:42   them someplace totally else so that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1242">TS</a>]

00:20:44   can even get home [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1244">TS</a>]

00:20:46   yeah thatthat's a there there's there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1246">TS</a>]

00:20:49   so much going on then in the last colony [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1249">TS</a>]

00:20:51   the third book the second book the ghost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1251">TS</a>]

00:20:53   brigades scott i know i read it and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1253">TS</a>]

00:20:55   look at the description of its kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1255">TS</a>]

00:20:57   edible though and I don't remember it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1257">TS</a>]

00:20:58   set in the same world but really there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1258">TS</a>]

00:21:00   are only a couple characters it you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1260">TS</a>]

00:21:02   in in common variant well there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1262">TS</a>]

00:21:04   main ki mean the main the main virtue of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1264">TS</a>]

00:21:07   it is that one of the characters that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1267">TS</a>]

00:21:09   comes out of it becomes very important [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1269">TS</a>]

00:21:12   in the third book and in fact the fourth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1272">TS</a>]

00:21:14   book is told from her perspective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1274">TS</a>]

00:21:16   mmm do I certainly have read the fourth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:18   book and i don't think i've read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1278">TS</a>]

00:21:19   third book said I can't tell if I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1279">TS</a>]

00:21:22   the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:22   oh yeah well the fourth in the third [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:25   books tell the same story from two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1285">TS</a>]

00:21:27   different points of view [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:28   yeah so the funny thing about this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:30   that Zoe's tail the fourth book which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1290">TS</a>]

00:21:33   interesting because it's almost like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1293">TS</a>]

00:21:34   young adult retelling of the third book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1294">TS</a>]

00:21:38   from the daughters perspective that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1298">TS</a>]

00:21:41   the first one of these that i read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:42   because it was nominated for a hugo and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1302">TS</a>]

00:21:44   it was in the hugo packet and and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:47   really liked it to the point where i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:48   went back and read the other three and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1308">TS</a>]

00:21:51   the funny thing about reading in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1311">TS</a>]

00:21:52   way is it didn't spoil basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1312">TS</a>]

00:21:54   anything for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1314">TS</a>]

00:21:56   he manages to pull off the fact that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1316">TS</a>]

00:21:58   think the third and the fourth book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1318">TS</a>]

00:21:59   despite telling essentially the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1319">TS</a>]

00:22:01   story are still engrossing even when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1321">TS</a>]

00:22:05   think you sort of know what's going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1325">TS</a>]

00:22:07   happen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1327">TS</a>]

00:22:08   I because it if there's more to it than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1328">TS</a>]

00:22:11   just the plot being the interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1331">TS</a>]

00:22:12   points in the character development or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1332">TS</a>]

00:22:14   interesting seeing these things and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1334">TS</a>]

00:22:15   there are some fairly important things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1335">TS</a>]

00:22:16   that you see in that fourth book that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1336">TS</a>]

00:22:18   you don't get to see their sort of all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1338">TS</a>]

00:22:19   screen in the third book so so in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:21   second book what happens is that there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1341">TS</a>]

00:22:23   this this this trader and the memories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:26   are implanted and all the stuff and in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1346">TS</a>]

00:22:27   the end what you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1347">TS</a>]

00:22:28   get a Zoe who gets adopted by by the old [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1348">TS</a>]

00:22:34   man from the first book and by jane who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1354">TS</a>]

00:22:36   is the little it's ok another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1356">TS</a>]

00:22:39   complication [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1359">TS</a>]

00:22:41   she is it's a clone of his wife because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1361">TS</a>]

00:22:50   you get you to grow your clone but while [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1370">TS</a>]

00:22:53   the cones were cool growing his wife [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:55   died right she signed up to be in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1375">TS</a>]

00:22:57   military as well but she died before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1377">TS</a>]

00:23:00   they left Earth basically and so they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1380">TS</a>]

00:23:04   still had a clone body for her but they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:06   have no brain no mind to go into it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1386">TS</a>]

00:23:10   so they just sort of they have like an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1390">TS</a>]

00:23:11   artificial like intelligence generator I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1391">TS</a>]

00:23:14   guess that but so that they put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1394">TS</a>]

00:23:16   basically they grow a brain from like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1396">TS</a>]

00:23:18   you know she's basically said it starts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1398">TS</a>]

00:23:21   out with her being more I mean they can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1401">TS</a>]

00:23:23   basically take a brain and let it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1403">TS</a>]

00:23:25   develop inside this body right its own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1405">TS</a>]

00:23:27   personality so it's sort of her but sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1407">TS</a>]

00:23:31   of not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1411">TS</a>]

00:23:32   yeah it's really creepy it it is it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1412">TS</a>]

00:23:36   all torino 10 now will end but shes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1416">TS</a>]

00:23:40   photos dead so it's not dead but she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1420">TS</a>]

00:23:41   sort of thinks like his dad why are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:43   heroes so because she's got the brain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1423">TS</a>]

00:23:45   but it's not his dead wife because she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1425">TS</a>]

00:23:48   doesn't have the memories and so it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1428">TS</a>]

00:23:51   yeah it's it's a really interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1431">TS</a>]

00:23:52   thing and that that's the fascinating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1432">TS</a>]

00:23:53   thing about the last colony which I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1433">TS</a>]

00:23:55   after reading is always tell which tells [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1435">TS</a>]

00:23:57   us that story from the daughters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1437">TS</a>]

00:23:59   perspective the adopted daughters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1439">TS</a>]

00:24:00   perspective but it's funny because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1440">TS</a>]

00:24:02   you've got these two characters that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1442">TS</a>]

00:24:04   so different from how they are earlier [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1444">TS</a>]

00:24:07   on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1447">TS</a>]

00:24:08   as it turns out when they're when there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1448">TS</a>]

00:24:09   are soldiers and now they're kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:12   retired and trying to run this colony [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1452">TS</a>]

00:24:15   and so you got wacky characters that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1455">TS</a>]

00:24:17   they're trying to keep you know in line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1457">TS</a>]

00:24:20   and then all of a sudden there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1460">TS</a>]

00:24:21   essentially a galactic incident and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1461">TS</a>]

00:24:24   they're going to all die unless state [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1464">TS</a>]

00:24:27   they uh but it turns out what that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1467">TS</a>]

00:24:29   daughter is being protected by this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1469">TS</a>]

00:24:32   alien race that her father created [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1472">TS</a>]

00:24:35   writer or made sentient yes and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1475">TS</a>]

00:24:41   made by anybody who hasn't read these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:42   books is going to be like whoa what the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1482">TS</a>]

00:24:45   hell are you talking that that's exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1485">TS</a>]

00:24:48   what I'm seeking it also kind of it also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:50   kinda follows that mean thatthat's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:51   thatthat's the sort of fascinating thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1491">TS</a>]

00:24:53   about is there are these wacky aliens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1493">TS</a>]

00:24:54   and and there are essentially this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1494">TS</a>]

00:24:56   little this little girl has these two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1496">TS</a>]

00:24:58   kind of like strange i don't even know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1498">TS</a>]

00:25:00   how to describe them they're like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1500">TS</a>]

00:25:01   puffball alien X there aren't they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1501">TS</a>]

00:25:06   really like badass they're like really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1506">TS</a>]

00:25:07   big or something to yeah they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1507">TS</a>]

00:25:09   dangerous but there but they just follow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1509">TS</a>]

00:25:11   her around and videotape everything she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1511">TS</a>]

00:25:14   does because she's a hero or she says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1514">TS</a>]

00:25:17   she's a God basically because her father [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1517">TS</a>]

00:25:19   created these these aliens or gave them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1519">TS</a>]

00:25:21   came from consciousness [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1521">TS</a>]

00:25:23   yeah and so so you know she goes off in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1523">TS</a>]

00:25:25   a spaceship and that story is told him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1525">TS</a>]

00:25:27   up in the fourth book yeah that's it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1527">TS</a>]

00:25:29   that's a pretty major point right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1529">TS</a>]

00:25:30   so you know you sort of see her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1530">TS</a>]

00:25:31   disappear off the stage in book 3 and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1531">TS</a>]

00:25:34   then she shows up as almost sort of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1534">TS</a>]

00:25:36   a deus ex machina out at the end but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1536">TS</a>]

00:25:39   then that whole segment is fleshed out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1539">TS</a>]

00:25:41   in the fourth book and I think that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1541">TS</a>]

00:25:43   really interesting because the it makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1543">TS</a>]

00:25:46   sense that would say it's not entirely a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1546">TS</a>]

00:25:48   deus ex machina it's just the story is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1548">TS</a>]

00:25:50   told elsewhere [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:51   meanwhile i have to say that you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1551">TS</a>]

00:25:52   without getting too damned these details [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1552">TS</a>]

00:25:55   it's fun you know the spaceship and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1555">TS</a>]

00:25:58   space battles are fun the the kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1558">TS</a>]

00:26:00   alien diplomacy is hilarious and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1560">TS</a>]

00:26:03   believe in is the last colony or is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1563">TS</a>]

00:26:06   so easy tale where there's a duel to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1566">TS</a>]

00:26:07   death between various ate like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1567">TS</a>]

00:26:10   humanely and various aliens and they do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1570">TS</a>]

00:26:13   this thing where diplomacy fails and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1573">TS</a>]

00:26:15   they're like let's duel and and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1575">TS</a>]

00:26:19   have to kill a certain number of aliens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:21   and then you win and they do and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1581">TS</a>]

00:26:23   win and it's just hilarious that mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1583">TS</a>]

00:26:27   it's written seriously but at the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1587">TS</a>]

00:26:28   time it's just such a great ride it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1588">TS</a>]

00:26:30   like sure why not a duel to the death [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1590">TS</a>]

00:26:31   with aliens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1591">TS</a>]

00:26:32   let's do that it it's very entertaining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1592">TS</a>]

00:26:34   in a way that I mean I feel like so many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1594">TS</a>]

00:26:37   times their people think like a book can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1597">TS</a>]

00:26:39   either be entertaining or like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1599">TS</a>]

00:26:40   intellectually stimulating like make you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1600">TS</a>]

00:26:42   think and I I feel like he does a pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1602">TS</a>]

00:26:44   good job of measuring those two so that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1604">TS</a>]

00:26:47   it's not totally cerebral and making you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1607">TS</a>]

00:26:50   like Mass this is this is full of very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1610">TS</a>]

00:26:53   deep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1613">TS</a>]

00:26:53   deep thoughts I must I must meditate on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1613">TS</a>]

00:26:56   these deep thoughts but I mean you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1616">TS</a>]

00:26:57   there's there are interesting ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1617">TS</a>]

00:26:59   woven within a story that is engaging [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1619">TS</a>]

00:27:01   and kind of a page-turner and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:04   that's a hard combination to pull off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1624">TS</a>]

00:27:06   Scott you should read them apparently I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:10   have no idea why I guess I was not that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1630">TS</a>]

00:27:13   impressed with a old man's war and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1633">TS</a>]

00:27:16   didn't feel I should read the rest i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1636">TS</a>]

00:27:18   know it's not in its 19th century New [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1638">TS</a>]

00:27:20   York there's no detective just tell you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1640">TS</a>]

00:27:23   so I you know it'sit's old man's war is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1643">TS</a>]

00:27:25   a lot of fun but i think is funny the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1645">TS</a>]

00:27:27   other books are very different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1647">TS</a>]

00:27:29   I think that my phone with old man's war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1649">TS</a>]

00:27:31   is that i liked the forever war so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1651">TS</a>]

00:27:34   oh yeah that can have you read Forever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1654">TS</a>]

00:27:37   War i'm familiar with it but I've never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1657">TS</a>]

00:27:39   read it you know how i will how can you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1659">TS</a>]

00:27:41   be familiar with a pen haha oh I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1661">TS</a>]

00:27:43   I've seen it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1663">TS</a>]

00:27:45   he's aware of its existence it is it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1665">TS</a>]

00:27:48   published it was published [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1668">TS</a>]

00:27:50   well i mean i know people often talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1670">TS</a>]

00:27:51   about sort of a diametrically opposed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1671">TS</a>]

00:27:53   did they put in contrast to the like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1673">TS</a>]

00:27:55   starship troopers type thing I hear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1675">TS</a>]

00:27:57   those are sort of the two dipoles of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1677">TS</a>]

00:27:59   whole you know the 67th Easwar that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:03   Rob the internship troopers like what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1683">TS</a>]

00:28:05   skill Elliot's and the forwards like war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1685">TS</a>]

00:28:08   is horrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1688">TS</a>]

00:28:09   why it's a waste of time yeah I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:11   that was that the reason i didn't read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1691">TS</a>]

00:28:13   it was over yep agree board are done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:15   don't know seriously now forever war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1695">TS</a>]

00:28:18   forever works great i read it maybe 10 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1698">TS</a>]

00:28:21   years ago and one of the things about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1701">TS</a>]

00:28:25   that's amazing is that to me it feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1705">TS</a>]

00:28:27   modern even now is written in 1974 and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1707">TS</a>]

00:28:31   it still feels modern because the plot I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:34   mean it's crazy it's it's like there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1714">TS</a>]

00:28:37   time dilation so they have every jump [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1717">TS</a>]

00:28:40   they do you know hundreds of years pass [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1720">TS</a>]

00:28:43   or dozens of years pass and and so that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1723">TS</a>]

00:28:46   the the reason why they're fighting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1726">TS</a>]

00:28:48   keeps changing and kind of goes on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1728">TS</a>]

00:28:50   forever and the it's a it's amazing it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1730">TS</a>]

00:28:54   it's it really is an amazing book Scott [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1734">TS</a>]

00:28:58   agreed to disagree i totally great seeds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1738">TS</a>]

00:29:01   it's a fantastic book and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1741">TS</a>]

00:29:03   should you should totally read it it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1743">TS</a>]

00:29:05   it is perhaps [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1745">TS</a>]

00:29:06   not uplifting but it is i think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:08   important work and possibly one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1748">TS</a>]

00:29:11   most important science fiction books of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:13   ever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1753">TS</a>]

00:29:15   yeah I think you told me while I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1755">TS</a>]

00:29:18   reading it right now I'm not reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1758">TS</a>]

00:29:20   right now but i will read it I won't end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1760">TS</a>]

00:29:22   up in my list of things to read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1762">TS</a>]

00:29:24   yeah it's it's it's really good and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1764">TS</a>]

00:29:26   not you know it's not attract right it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1766">TS</a>]

00:29:29   not a yo man war is regulars which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1769">TS</a>]

00:29:33   sucky and we shouldn't fight band we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1773">TS</a>]

00:29:35   should all love each other it's it's um [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1775">TS</a>]

00:29:38   nobody it's got the it's got the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1778">TS</a>]

00:29:42   action of the war but it's also got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1782">TS</a>]

00:29:44   impact on the soldiers because of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1784">TS</a>]

00:29:46   science fictional kind of affects the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1786">TS</a>]

00:29:48   time dilation and light speed and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1788">TS</a>]

00:29:51   and so society changes and so and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1791">TS</a>]

00:29:54   the Vietnam parallel is that they come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1794">TS</a>]

00:29:56   back the every time they come back into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1796">TS</a>]

00:29:58   a world that day don't belong in right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1798">TS</a>]

00:30:00   now but it actually sent out again to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1800">TS</a>]

00:30:03   fight for it and then they come back and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1803">TS</a>]

00:30:04   again what they fought for is changed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1804">TS</a>]

00:30:07   yeah it's it's fascinating but on a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1807">TS</a>]

00:30:10   science-fiction level it's really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1810">TS</a>]

00:30:12   interesting to say well you know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1812">TS</a>]

00:30:13   would happen if you got you return home [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1813">TS</a>]

00:30:15   and it was 200 years later and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1815">TS</a>]

00:30:17   everything was different you know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1817">TS</a>]

00:30:19   would be a really interesting thing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1819">TS</a>]

00:30:22   the enemy of the veterans that when they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1822">TS</a>]

00:30:27   reenter society I mean they are people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1827">TS</a>]

00:30:29   at a time and there and it's very hard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1829">TS</a>]

00:30:33   for them to to adapt like I as i recall [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1833">TS</a>]

00:30:35   don't when they return home isn't isn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1835">TS</a>]

00:30:39   hasn't homosexuality replaced [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1839">TS</a>]

00:30:42   heterosexuality is the dominant form of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1842">TS</a>]

00:30:44   sexuality because they want to reduce [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1844">TS</a>]

00:30:46   population growth and so exactly so that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:48   they become horribly like disaffected [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1848">TS</a>]

00:30:50   and yet there are also encouraged to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1850">TS</a>]

00:30:51   have this like is there like surgery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1851">TS</a>]

00:30:54   that they're inverses your sexual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1854">TS</a>]

00:30:57   orientation and they're feeling through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1857">TS</a>]

00:31:00   its wildlife it is it is really a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1860">TS</a>]

00:31:03   mind-blowing kind of book it's it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1863">TS</a>]

00:31:05   but it's good it's not definitely not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1865">TS</a>]

00:31:07   preaching so yeah I totally recommend [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1867">TS</a>]

00:31:11   the forever war so it has similar themes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1871">TS</a>]

00:31:16   to to the ultimate old man's war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1876">TS</a>]

00:31:18   yeah an old man's what I think is a fine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1878">TS</a>]

00:31:20   book in and of itself but when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1880">TS</a>]

00:31:22   compare it to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1882">TS</a>]

00:31:23   I don't think he can pick compared to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1883">TS</a>]

00:31:25   the forever war as as a model not just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1885">TS</a>]

00:31:29   53 and I it doesn't seem like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1889">TS</a>]

00:31:31   inspires necessarily to that I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1891">TS</a>]

00:31:33   think it's nice i mean i think that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1893">TS</a>]

00:31:36   what you know at least that's what I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1896">TS</a>]

00:31:37   enjoy about to a certain extent is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1897">TS</a>]

00:31:38   it is it seems to be comfortable with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1898">TS</a>]

00:31:42   its place which is to say you know it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1902">TS</a>]

00:31:46   a good story and not to say there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1906">TS</a>]

00:31:49   larger messages that you can take away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1909">TS</a>]

00:31:50   from it but again contextually also it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1910">TS</a>]

00:31:54   written in a very different era from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1914">TS</a>]

00:31:55   something like the forever war which you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1915">TS</a>]

00:31:58   know clearly has all these you know tuck [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1918">TS</a>]

00:32:00   close ties to the experience in Vietnam [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1920">TS</a>]

00:32:03   whereas you know the old man's work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1923">TS</a>]

00:32:05   I know it was written in a you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1925">TS</a>]

00:32:07   presumably a wartime environment it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1927">TS</a>]

00:32:09   not the same war and it i don't think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1929">TS</a>]

00:32:13   necessarily tries to make me IE maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1933">TS</a>]

00:32:16   it's just a book of its time in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1936">TS</a>]

00:32:17   different way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1937">TS</a>]

00:32:19   well I like about elements wars that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1939">TS</a>]

00:32:21   doesn't flinch away from killing lots of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1941">TS</a>]

00:32:23   characters that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1943">TS</a>]

00:32:25   yeah despite being an entertaining an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1945">TS</a>]

00:32:28   entertaining story it's not without its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1948">TS</a>]

00:32:30   darker moments and without its you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1950">TS</a>]

00:32:33   sadness and other emotions as well it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1953">TS</a>]

00:32:35   just that it's well there's that core [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1955">TS</a>]

00:32:38   group of recruits that just keep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1958">TS</a>]

00:32:39   dwindling away the morning if I i feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1959">TS</a>]

00:32:43   that a lot of its to the purpose of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1963">TS</a>]

00:32:44   telling the story and not necessarily to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:46   the purpose of telling a message if that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1966">TS</a>]

00:32:48   difference can be made ya know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1968">TS</a>]

00:32:50   centered it's an entertainment more than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1970">TS</a>]

00:32:52   anything else and it is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1972">TS</a>]

00:32:53   entertaining and i am a i'm a sucker for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1973">TS</a>]

00:32:56   the the widescreen you know different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/1976">TS</a>]

00:33:37   reading his books Georgia are really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2017">TS</a>]

00:34:09   I imagine it's quite hard for somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2049">TS</a>]

00:34:10   who's supposed to be actually you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:16   published fiction it in fact I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2056">TS</a>]

00:34:19   that's not who he became a published [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2059">TS</a>]

00:34:20   author because he wrote whatever the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2060">TS</a>]

00:34:22   agent to the stars and then he posted it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2062">TS</a>]

00:34:24   on his blog and the rest as they say is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2064">TS</a>]

00:34:29   a cleaning it is is a series of novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2069">TS</a>]

00:34:33   exactly I anything more to say about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2073">TS</a>]

00:34:41   once who did you know is that actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2081">TS</a>]

00:34:44   argue with him like there is material [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2084">TS</a>]

00:34:45   are lighter of am in fact he didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2085">TS</a>]

00:34:47   write back means little said about not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2087">TS</a>]

00:34:50   judging him he's a busy man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2090">TS</a>]

00:34:52   he wrote a very interesting blog post [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2092">TS</a>]

00:34:53   one of the ones i did read about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2093">TS</a>]

00:34:57   addressing sort of the idea why so many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2097">TS</a>]

00:35:01   of the new quote unquote writers in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2101">TS</a>]

00:35:03   science fiction were you know people in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:06   their thirties as opposed to sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2106">TS</a>]

00:35:08   young talent in their twenties and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:11   think most of it was talking about look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2111">TS</a>]

00:35:12   because when you're in your twenties [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2112">TS</a>]

00:35:14   unless you know one of those people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2114">TS</a>]

00:35:15   who's like genius whatever you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2115">TS</a>]

00:35:17   writing a lot of crap and sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2117">TS</a>]

00:35:19   learning and getting that out of your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2119">TS</a>]

00:35:20   system and so you see these first quote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2120">TS</a>]

00:35:23   unquote novels from new writers in when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2123">TS</a>]

00:35:26   they're in their thirties because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2126">TS</a>]

00:35:27   they've you know been working on this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2127">TS</a>]

00:35:28   stuff all along and finally produce [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2128">TS</a>]

00:35:30   something that's worth actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2130">TS</a>]

00:35:31   publishing and i was very good piece it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2131">TS</a>]

00:35:35   would be made a lot of sense i mean it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2135">TS</a>]

00:35:37   also echoes you know my own experience [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2137">TS</a>]

00:35:39   which have heard a lot of crappy novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2139">TS</a>]

00:35:41   in my twenties and now that I feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2141">TS</a>]

00:35:44   I'm in my thirties I've I'm still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2144">TS</a>]

00:35:45   writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2145">TS</a>]

00:35:45   grabbing us but they're getting less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2145">TS</a>]

00:35:46   crappy job and so I said I wrote him an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2146">TS</a>]

00:35:50   email about that just saying I I really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2150">TS</a>]

00:35:52   was interested in his this piece and his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2152">TS</a>]

00:35:54   theory there and never heard back but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2154">TS</a>]

00:35:56   but you know that's alright and how they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2156">TS</a>]

00:35:58   get some ice to follow on twitter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2158">TS</a>]

00:36:00   oh I don't follow me on Twitter but i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2160">TS</a>]

00:36:02   think that his blog is very interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:04   to someone who is interested in writing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2164">TS</a>]

00:36:08   and the business of writing in public [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2168">TS</a>]

00:36:10   and publishing because that's here i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2170">TS</a>]

00:36:11   doubt about that and his thoughts about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:13   you know ebooks and self-publishing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2173">TS</a>]

00:36:16   all that kind of stuff and that stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2176">TS</a>]

00:36:17   that i'm very interested in so i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2177">TS</a>]

00:36:19   it a great one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2179">TS</a>]

00:36:20   I don't know if you saw Scott the couple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2180">TS</a>]

00:36:22   weeks ago he did one about where his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:24   income comes from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2184">TS</a>]

00:36:25   yes that was really interesting he has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2185">TS</a>]

00:36:28   this whole pie is all these pie chart [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2188">TS</a>]

00:36:29   showing like here's this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2189">TS</a>]

00:36:31   percentage of my income that came from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2191">TS</a>]

00:36:33   the royalties from the novel's selling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2193">TS</a>]

00:36:35   the options for the movie you know I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:37   accusing consultant on stargate universe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2197">TS</a>]

00:36:39   you know like and he chose these guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2199">TS</a>]

00:36:41   i'll divide up as a pie is like so my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2201">TS</a>]

00:36:43   point being you know if you're a writer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2203">TS</a>]

00:36:45   you need to diversify because some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:47   these streams could just go away and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:50   don't know you know when that's gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2210">TS</a>]

00:36:51   happen and if you want to you know make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2211">TS</a>]

00:36:52   a living [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2212">TS</a>]

00:36:53   you need to be able to make sure that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2213">TS</a>]

00:36:55   even if that chunk of your revenue drops [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2215">TS</a>]

00:36:57   off you're still making enough money [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2217">TS</a>]

00:36:59   from other projects that you can still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   you know get by which was I mean which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:05   is totally true and i think it's it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2225">TS</a>]

00:37:07   really interesting to see someone who is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2227">TS</a>]

00:37:08   a successful very well you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2228">TS</a>]

00:37:11   well-known popular author talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2231">TS</a>]

00:37:15   you know these it's not just write a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2235">TS</a>]

00:37:17   write a book and then you make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2237">TS</a>]

00:37:18   gazillion dollars and you're set for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2238">TS</a>]

00:37:20   life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2240">TS</a>]

00:37:21   so where does he make his money i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2241">TS</a>]

00:37:24   a lot of a decent chunk of it in terms [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2244">TS</a>]

00:37:26   of like the recurring revenue comes from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:29   things like royalties but like you said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2249">TS</a>]

00:37:33   for example like I think it's like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2253">TS</a>]

00:37:34   last year his biggest chunk came from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2254">TS</a>]

00:37:36   this movie option for old man's war and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2256">TS</a>]

00:37:39   he said well yeah that's great you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2259">TS</a>]

00:37:41   I made a lot of money from it last year [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2261">TS</a>]

00:37:43   but that's not something that's going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2263">TS</a>]

00:37:45   get repeated year after year so I can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2265">TS</a>]

00:37:49   necessarily count on that next year so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2269">TS</a>]

00:37:50   have to make sure that i'm still doing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2270">TS</a>]

00:37:52   other things so easy he writes a column [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2272">TS</a>]

00:37:53   for he was calm for a film site i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2273">TS</a>]

00:37:57   user it's MC it might be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2277">TS</a>]

00:37:59   animallsex.com yeah so I think he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2279">TS</a>]

00:38:01   bounced around the places you did that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2281">TS</a>]

00:38:03   consulting gig for stargate universe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2283">TS</a>]

00:38:04   thing got cancelled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2284">TS</a>]

00:38:06   he's got he says he said I think he has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:09   a consulting gig for some other company [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2289">TS</a>]

00:38:11   that he won't talk about i mean like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2291">TS</a>]

00:38:12   bunch of different like little projects [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2292">TS</a>]

00:38:14   all on the side but i think the bulk of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2294">TS</a>]

00:38:16   it still comes from from the books now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2296">TS</a>]

00:38:19   see here sixty-three percent from books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2299">TS</a>]

00:38:32   percent from his web column nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2312">TS</a>]

00:38:35   yes I mean like I you know and Scott [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2315">TS</a>]

00:38:37   says like that's really interesting for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2317">TS</a>]

00:38:38   the business of someone who you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2318">TS</a>]

00:38:40   people working as writers are interested [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2320">TS</a>]

00:38:42   in working as a professional writer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2322">TS</a>]

00:38:45   it's really illuminating to see ya it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2325">TS</a>]

00:38:47   not necessarily as simple or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2327">TS</a>]

00:38:50   straightforward as you might think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2330">TS</a>]

00:38:52   making me even like three percent so I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2332">TS</a>]

00:49:40   reading crowd burn was it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2980">TS</a>]

00:49:45   interesting because having she hadn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2985">TS</a>]

00:49:47   written a book in this universe and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2987">TS</a>]

00:49:49   long that I thought it was kind of funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2989">TS</a>]

00:49:50   that it clearly was something that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2990">TS</a>]

00:49:52   an idea like like we talked about in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2992">TS</a>]

00:49:55   mouse podcast ethan of athos which I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2995">TS</a>]

00:49:58   didn't like I thought it was really bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/2998">TS</a>]

00:50:00   but it was clearly about something right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3000">TS</a>]

00:50:03   she was saying okay what are the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3003">TS</a>]

00:50:05   ramifications of having the uterine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3005">TS</a>]

00:50:07   replicator so that you don't actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3007">TS</a>]

00:50:09   need women to have babies and cry Auburn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3009">TS</a>]

00:50:12   was very much like that in the sense not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3012">TS</a>]

00:50:14   message that was bad because i liked it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3014">TS</a>]

00:50:16   but it in the sense that it was about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3016">TS</a>]

00:50:18   something which is what what is the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3018">TS</a>]

00:50:20   of the ramifications of the cryogenic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3020">TS</a>]

00:50:22   system that she put in that saved my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3022">TS</a>]

00:50:24   life we can freeze people and bring them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3024">TS</a>]

00:50:26   back later and there's this planet where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3026">TS</a>]

00:50:28   the voters are large leaf frozen corpse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3028">TS</a>]

00:50:32   this and they've got voting rights and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3032">TS</a>]

00:50:34   there's a-there cryo tombs and and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3034">TS</a>]

00:50:38   love the the economic hijinks that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3038">TS</a>]

00:50:40   don't ruin it for everybody but i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3040">TS</a>]

00:50:42   the whole idea of what happens is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3042">TS</a>]

00:50:45   yeah it's one of the ways it's kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3045">TS</a>]

00:50:46   like there's a nefarious plot right but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3046">TS</a>]

00:50:48   yeah it's fascinating in the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3048">TS</a>]

00:50:51   it's executed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3051">TS</a>]

00:50:52   yeah and in the end you know it all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3052">TS</a>]

00:50:54   hangs on the coincidence that this kid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3054">TS</a>]

00:50:56   finds miles when he's stumbling around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3056">TS</a>]

00:50:58   in the street and the kid happens to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3058">TS</a>]

00:51:02   the mother or the the son of the his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3062">TS</a>]

00:51:04   mother is like the key pivotal figure in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3064">TS</a>]

00:51:07   this conspiracy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3067">TS</a>]

00:51:08   so there's some there's some you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3068">TS</a>]

00:51:11   i always say anything really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3071">TS</a>]

00:51:13   boy that was lucky that that kid fella [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3073">TS</a>]

00:51:15   minus miles attractive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3075">TS</a>]

00:51:17   thing but that's just a little as 14 lat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3077">TS</a>]

00:51:20   coincidence right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3080">TS</a>]

00:51:21   yeah but after that I mean it's there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3081">TS</a>]

00:51:23   like a whole like cryogenic lab that set [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3083">TS</a>]

00:51:25   up an abandoned building and I mean it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3085">TS</a>]

00:51:28   wacky it's but it was it was a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3088">TS</a>]

00:51:29   fun and you could tell that she enjoyed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3089">TS</a>]

00:51:31   having as well done together you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3091">TS</a>]

00:51:35   other characters pop in mark pops in for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3095">TS</a>]

00:51:38   a little while [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3098">TS</a>]

00:52:04   that you know you think he's going to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3124">TS</a>]

00:52:05   one of those bureaucratic guys who miles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3125">TS</a>]

00:52:07   so often encounters he's just going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3127">TS</a>]

00:52:09   be a pain in the ass and gets forward [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3129">TS</a>]

00:52:11   it's right what really turns out to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3131">TS</a>]

00:52:14   kind of a useful sympathetic character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3134">TS</a>]

00:52:47   I mean I enjoyed especially because she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3167">TS</a>]

00:52:49   takes the time to tell the story from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3169">TS</a>]

00:52:50   what's-his-name the kids point of view [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3170">TS</a>]

00:52:58   interesting totally different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3178">TS</a>]

00:52:59   perspective right on miles is a special [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3179">TS</a>]

00:53:02   way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3182">TS</a>]

00:53:02   exactly exactly mr. Solomon just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3182">TS</a>]

00:53:05   little fellow he's always like that what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3185">TS</a>]

00:53:07   I have an idea about a child as a nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3187">TS</a>]

00:53:10   little digression there i have to get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3190">TS</a>]

00:53:12   insurance order I I liked it a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3192">TS</a>]

00:53:15   better than I liked diplomatic immunity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3195">TS</a>]

00:53:16   which is one of my least favorite books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3196">TS</a>]

00:53:18   in this area actually is that the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3198">TS</a>]

00:53:20   with the wacky shenanigans with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3200">TS</a>]

00:53:21   butter but listen no no that is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3201">TS</a>]

00:53:26   what's diplomatic immunity diplomatic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3206">TS</a>]

00:53:27   immunity is the one before it where it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3207">TS</a>]

00:53:29   the air on the space station [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3209">TS</a>]

00:53:31   and there's qualities is that the it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3211">TS</a>]

00:53:34   an attempt to do like sort of a murder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3214">TS</a>]

00:53:36   mystery but it also it just didn't it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3216">TS</a>]

00:53:38   was so divorced from everything that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3218">TS</a>]

00:53:40   kind of interesting there were so few [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3220">TS</a>]

00:53:41   characters I felt like that the stove [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3221">TS</a>]

00:53:44   you the familiar characters in it in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3224">TS</a>]

00:53:46   some ways that it felt really like alien [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3226">TS</a>]

00:53:48   oh and they end up in there there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3228">TS</a>]

00:53:50   showdown in the spaceship where yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3230">TS</a>]

00:53:52   yeah it was not my favorite I mean it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3232">TS</a>]

00:54:28   that I our way we mentioned that earlier [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3268">TS</a>]

00:54:30   i believe if i recall correctly and i am [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3270">TS</a>]

00:54:35   reading a book called the hidden reality [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3275">TS</a>]

00:54:37   where is it it is all around us the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3277">TS</a>]

00:54:41   closet check the clock that it's by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3281">TS</a>]

00:54:44   brian greene who is a fast and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3284">TS</a>]

00:54:47   elegant science books that i like and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3287">TS</a>]

00:54:49   wrote the elegant universe which is as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3289">TS</a>]

00:54:52   confused people who want to know about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3292">TS</a>]

00:54:55   string theory in much the same way if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3295">TS</a>]

00:54:57   it's Stephen Hawking's book a brief [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3297">TS</a>]

00:54:58   history of time confuse people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3298">TS</a>]

00:55:00   wanted to know about relativity I like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3300">TS</a>]

00:55:04   loved that book actually and and this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3304">TS</a>]

00:55:06   his third I think of these popular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3306">TS</a>]

00:55:07   science books and it's about parallel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3307">TS</a>]

00:55:09   universes and how they could actually be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3309">TS</a>]

00:55:12   scientifically possible and it's good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3312">TS</a>]

00:55:15   it's good it's not topical it's hard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3315">TS</a>]

00:55:17   it's hard rowing in a sense that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3317">TS</a>]

00:55:20   know it's physics and you've got a you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3320">TS</a>]

00:55:22   can't exactly be listening to a baseball [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3322">TS</a>]

00:55:23   game while you're reading it as somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3323">TS</a>]

00:55:25   who tried this York it can't be done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3325">TS</a>]

00:55:28   because then he started to drop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3328">TS</a>]

00:55:29   something on you about well if they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3329">TS</a>]

00:55:31   if it's an infinitely expanding universe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3331">TS</a>]

00:55:33   that means there's an infinite expanse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3333">TS</a>]

00:55:35   in the universe which means there's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3335">TS</a>]

00:55:36   infinite number of galaxies and if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3336">TS</a>]

00:55:38   that's true and it's truly infinite then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3338">TS</a>]

00:55:40   there's another planet somewhere out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3340">TS</a>]

00:55:43   there in the universe that's exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3343">TS</a>]

00:55:44   like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3344">TS</a>]

00:55:44   hours did you know there is in fact an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3344">TS</a>]

00:55:47   infinite number of them and it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3347">TS</a>]

00:55:49   what I have to turn off the baseball [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3349">TS</a>]

00:55:50   game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3350">TS</a>]

00:55:51   oh but it's good stuff it's it's really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3351">TS</a>]

00:55:54   interesting he's very good at at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3354">TS</a>]

00:55:56   bringing these but mind-blowing things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3356">TS</a>]

00:55:58   that are happening and in modern physics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3358">TS</a>]

00:56:00   and trying to explain it it with you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3360">TS</a>]

00:56:03   know some analogies and try to get you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3363">TS</a>]

00:56:05   understand what an 11 dimensional string [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3365">TS</a>]

00:56:07   theory based space-time would would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3367">TS</a>]

00:56:10   like which is really hard but he does a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3370">TS</a>]

00:56:12   pretty good job so i recommend the Brian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3372">TS</a>]

00:56:16   Greene you know his series start with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3376">TS</a>]

00:56:18   the elegant universe which is excellent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3378">TS</a>]

00:56:20   about string theory if it has been a the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3380">TS</a>]

00:56:23   Pluto files by neil degrasse tyson i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3383">TS</a>]

00:56:26   haven't although I I should because i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3386">TS</a>]

00:56:28   read i think i spent on an earlier [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3388">TS</a>]

00:56:29   podcast i read Mike Brown's book how I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3389">TS</a>]

00:56:32   killed Pluto and why it had it coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3392">TS</a>]

00:56:34   which is a lot of fun about being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3394">TS</a>]

00:56:36   working astronomer and finding these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3396">TS</a>]

00:56:37   deep solar system objects but i haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3397">TS</a>]

00:56:40   read the profiles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3400">TS</a>]

00:56:42   it's a lo lot of fun because he gets a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3402">TS</a>]

00:56:44   so Neil deGrasse Tyson runs the Hayden [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3404">TS</a>]

00:56:47   Planetarium planetarium exactly so here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3407">TS</a>]

00:56:49   they they changed their their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3409">TS</a>]

00:56:52   representation of the solar system [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3412">TS</a>]

00:56:54   material out and grouped with other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3414">TS</a>]

00:56:56   other things because they group the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3416">TS</a>]

00:56:57   planets in the ways that they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3417">TS</a>]

00:56:59   grouped with celestial objects and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3419">TS</a>]

00:57:02   then that kind of started this whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3422">TS</a>]

00:57:03   thing about him killing Pluto and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3423">TS</a>]

00:57:06   push the original saludo killer he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3426">TS</a>]

00:58:19   that he wanted to write the space opera [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3499">TS</a>]

00:58:22   that he wanted to read when he was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3502">TS</a>]

00:58:24   fourteen-year-old so he wrote the reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3504">TS</a>]

00:58:26   empire which is a fascinating book about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3506">TS</a>]

00:58:30   this empire called the reason empire who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3510">TS</a>]

00:58:32   they figure out how to cheat death by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3512">TS</a>]

00:58:35   creating this viet that will give you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3515">TS</a>]

00:58:38   eternal life but the problem is you have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3518">TS</a>]

00:58:40   to be dead before it can be implanted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3520">TS</a>]

00:58:52   interesting book but you should read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3532">TS</a>]

00:58:55   there are two books that were actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:56   written as one book so if you decide you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3536">TS</a>]

00:58:58   want to read the reason Empire make sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZUffw8/3538">TS</a>]
