00:06:24   fascinating book and I know that I Glenn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/384">TS</a>]

00:06:26   actually prime the pump for me a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/386">TS</a>]

00:06:27   bit with this one because he declared [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/387">TS</a>]

00:06:29   before i had started it that he wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/389">TS</a>]

00:06:32   sure it was sci-fi or not but that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/392">TS</a>]

00:06:34   was great and so I went in reading it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/394">TS</a>]

00:06:36   and I read the whole thing sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/396">TS</a>]

00:06:38   trying to detect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/398">TS</a>]

00:06:39   there I thought that it was truly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/399">TS</a>]

00:06:41   science fictional or whether it was all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/401">TS</a>]

00:06:44   just in my head and and then it could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/404">TS</a>]

00:06:45   all be explained kind of normally so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/405">TS</a>]

00:06:47   think the premise here is that there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/407">TS</a>]

00:06:49   these two cities that are actually this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/409">TS</a>]

00:06:51   sir sorry Scott that are actually the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/411">TS</a>]

00:06:53   same city but they're consensually they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/413">TS</a>]

00:06:55   don't see each other they try not to see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/415">TS</a>]

00:06:57   each other so they're kind of overlaid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/417">TS</a>]

00:06:59   in terms of geography but for political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/419">TS</a>]

00:07:01   reasons they are two separate cities [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/421">TS</a>]

00:07:03   with two separate geographies even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/423">TS</a>]

00:07:05   though they are overlaid said or did I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/425">TS</a>]

00:07:08   know it's not like that at all Jason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/428">TS</a>]

00:07:09   that's not what the book is only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/429">TS</a>]

00:07:10   visiting operate they occupy two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/430">TS</a>]

00:07:13   slightly different vibrating planes in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/433">TS</a>]

00:07:15   space yeah well it's i5n isn't it crowd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/435">TS</a>]

00:07:17   really miss read that book then or is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/437">TS</a>]

00:07:19   why would i would argue it's a it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/439">TS</a>]

00:07:22   mystery in some ways to what is it is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/442">TS</a>]

00:07:24   police you know it's my I so it's I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/444">TS</a>]

00:07:26   cedral to our central yes set in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/446">TS</a>]

00:07:29   setting a very interesting environment [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/449">TS</a>]

00:07:30   if it were only set in 1802 new york [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/450">TS</a>]

00:07:33   city i totally would have read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/453">TS</a>]

00:07:34   already York City and New Jersey occupy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/454">TS</a>]

00:07:38   the same point in space in that book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/458">TS</a>]

00:07:40   well I mean I don't know the experience [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/460">TS</a>]

00:07:41   I had when reading this was and I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/461">TS</a>]

00:07:43   it awhile back so i might be a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/463">TS</a>]

00:07:45   fuzzy but I think I very vividly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/465">TS</a>]

00:07:47   remember the first few pages where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/467">TS</a>]

00:07:49   you're trying to figure out exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/469">TS</a>]

00:07:52   what's going on in terms of this work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/472">TS</a>]

00:07:56   because you're just kind of thrown into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/476">TS</a>]

00:07:57   it right it doesn't actually I yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/477">TS</a>]

00:07:59   you're right yeah and you you have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/479">TS</a>]

00:08:00   start putting it together and seeing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/480">TS</a>]

00:08:02   like you you're so we're seeing it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/482">TS</a>]

00:08:03   through the the eyes of the protagonist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/483">TS</a>]

00:08:07   who is a police inspector and he's so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/487">TS</a>]

00:08:11   accustomed to this this consensual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/491">TS</a>]

00:08:14   agreement that we don't see the people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/494">TS</a>]

00:08:17   from the other city that as someone who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/497">TS</a>]

00:08:20   is like you know we're basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/500">TS</a>]

00:08:21   tourists in this in this strange realm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/501">TS</a>]

00:08:25   and so we're kind of challenge to figure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/505">TS</a>]

00:08:28   out what's going on from the perspective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/508">TS</a>]

00:08:30   of someone who is always lived there and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/510">TS</a>]

00:08:32   thus is perfectly in tune with this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/512">TS</a>]

00:08:34   whole idea that will make the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/514">TS</a>]

00:08:36   provocative statement that one of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/516">TS</a>]

00:08:38   it that the book rewires your brain as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/518">TS</a>]

00:08:39   you read it uh-huh and what I am to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/519">TS</a>]

00:08:42   follow up i think the best science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/522">TS</a>]

00:08:44   fiction the best science fiction for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/524">TS</a>]

00:08:46   that I like our books that try to rewire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/526">TS</a>]

00:08:49   your brain while you read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/529">TS</a>]

00:08:50   NM is one of those yes I'm extend this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/530">TS</a>]

00:08:53   certainly is that like as i'm reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/533">TS</a>]

00:08:54   the book and i'm getting the perspective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/534">TS</a>]

00:08:56   from you I think skilled or something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/536">TS</a>]

00:08:58   like that you feel right yeah funeral [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/538">TS</a>]

00:09:00   and i'm getting his perspective in as I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/540">TS</a>]

00:09:03   trying to see through his eyes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/543">TS</a>]

00:09:05   my head is kind of doing this why can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/545">TS</a>]

00:09:07   really think that way and like okay I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/547">TS</a>]

00:09:09   almost got it and you know they don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/549">TS</a>]

00:09:10   think wait a minute can't be quite that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/550">TS</a>]

00:09:12   way and then evil brings up something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/552">TS</a>]

00:09:14   that's you have an objection well dogs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/554">TS</a>]

00:09:17   can't see this pets can't see this and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/557">TS</a>]

00:09:19   in passing he'll explain how that works [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/559">TS</a>]

00:09:21   or wolves or children or children [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/561">TS</a>]

00:09:24   violence all the time then explains how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/564">TS</a>]

00:09:26   there's exceptions and you're like well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/566">TS</a>]

00:09:27   who would enforce such a relationship [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/567">TS</a>]

00:09:29   and then oh well there's another party [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/569">TS</a>]

00:09:32   that comes out so he keeps promise [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/572">TS</a>]

00:09:33   anticipates as your brain is as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/573">TS</a>]

00:09:35   rewriting its own ability to perceive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/575">TS</a>]

00:09:37   this world that's being invented around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/577">TS</a>]

00:09:39   you you know he just keeps throwing in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/579">TS</a>]

00:09:41   the explanation you almost the time you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/581">TS</a>]

00:09:43   need it for commits that kind of it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/583">TS</a>]

00:09:44   kind of like a literary equivalent of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/584">TS</a>]

00:09:46   like an Escher painting right that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/586">TS</a>]

00:09:49   where you're like you're staring at it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/589">TS</a>]

00:09:50   and it looks like one thing and then as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/590">TS</a>]

00:09:53   your brain sort of adapt to the strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/593">TS</a>]

00:09:56   geometry that's going on there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/596">TS</a>]

00:09:58   it looks like it starts to look like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/598">TS</a>]

00:09:59   something else you start to get an idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/599">TS</a>]

00:10:01   like oh this isn't all that's going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/601">TS</a>]

00:10:02   here okay yeah that staircase connects [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/602">TS</a>]

00:10:04   there but it also is like upstairs and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/604">TS</a>]

00:10:06   downstairs of all time when i read it a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/606">TS</a>]

00:10:08   second time the thing was funny as I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/608">TS</a>]

00:10:10   thought okay well the second time this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/610">TS</a>]

00:10:11   is like whenever you read a murder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/611">TS</a>]

00:10:12   mystery ok I know who did it so I know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/612">TS</a>]

00:10:14   that conceit here I'll read it a second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/614">TS</a>]

00:10:16   time and it will snap into a clear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/616">TS</a>]

00:10:18   relief and it did not it is still in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/618">TS</a>]

00:10:21   fact it's even worse because I could see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/621">TS</a>]

00:10:23   all the stuff that he hid that you only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/623">TS</a>]

00:10:25   can pick up on subsequent readings was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/625">TS</a>]

00:10:26   even more traces of ambiguity it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/626">TS</a>]

00:10:28   Oh My heavens it's so unlike NM which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/628">TS</a>]

00:10:32   sets you down in a world that is clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/632">TS</a>]

00:10:34   not our own and with a lot of terms that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/634">TS</a>]

00:10:37   you have to learn with the city in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/637">TS</a>]

00:10:38   city it's plausibly our world it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/638">TS</a>]

00:10:41   country you don't really recognize in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/641">TS</a>]

00:10:43   Eastern Europe and you know you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/643">TS</a>]

00:10:44   really know but then he starts dropping [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/644">TS</a>]

00:10:46   the verbs on you that people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/646">TS</a>]

00:10:48   unseeing things and you're like what is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/648">TS</a>]

00:10:51   that mean and his login tactical yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/651">TS</a>]

00:10:53   catching alter all these things yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/653">TS</a>]

00:10:56   cross topically yeah yeah and so and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/656">TS</a>]

00:10:59   you end up trying to decrypt all of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/659">TS</a>]

00:11:01   and unpacking you're right it is like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/661">TS</a>]

00:11:03   the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/663">TS</a>]

00:11:03   I think any any good novel it's like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/663">TS</a>]

00:11:06   novelist is trying to hack into your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/666">TS</a>]

00:11:07   brain and novel is a machine that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/667">TS</a>]

00:11:10   designed to work on your brain and work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/670">TS</a>]

00:11:12   on how your brain processes the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/672">TS</a>]

00:11:13   information that's given and this does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/673">TS</a>]

00:11:15   that in a really interesting way and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/675">TS</a>]

00:11:17   when you get to the point awful where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/677">TS</a>]

00:11:18   you get introduced to the concept of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/678">TS</a>]

00:11:20   breach and what the breaches which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/680">TS</a>]

00:11:22   essentially the police who are making [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/682">TS</a>]

00:11:24   sure that you don't violate this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/684">TS</a>]

00:11:26   consensual hallucination about the two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/686">TS</a>]

00:11:29   cities being separate when they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/689">TS</a>]

00:11:31   for me that was when the thing really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/691">TS</a>]

00:11:33   started to ramp up is that the throwing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/693">TS</a>]

00:11:35   in that third actor which is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/695">TS</a>]

00:11:37   patroller of the of the borders and for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/697">TS</a>]

00:11:40   me that's the central question with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/700">TS</a>]

00:11:41   city and the city about if it's science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/701">TS</a>]

00:11:43   fictional or not is what is the breach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/703">TS</a>]

00:11:45   and on twitter we mentioned this and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/705">TS</a>]

00:11:47   had somebody say oh no its total breach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/707">TS</a>]

00:11:49   is totally explainable as just the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/709">TS</a>]

00:11:51   conjunction of the two cities and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/711">TS</a>]

00:11:53   not science fiction at all and yet when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/713">TS</a>]

00:11:55   you read the description and maybe Glenn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/715">TS</a>]

00:11:57   since you reread it when you read the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/717">TS</a>]

00:11:58   description of the breach and how great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/718">TS</a>]

00:12:00   the breach appears and what they do and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/720">TS</a>]

00:12:02   how they seem to know what's going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/722">TS</a>]

00:12:04   your led to believe that it's this disc [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/724">TS</a>]

00:12:06   almost supernatural kind of force and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/726">TS</a>]

00:12:08   that's great up to the point where he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/728">TS</a>]

00:12:10   led into the offices of the bringing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/730">TS</a>]

00:12:11   your like drab not interesting in any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/731">TS</a>]

00:12:14   sort of way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/734">TS</a>]

00:12:15   bureaucratic offices they're not magical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/735">TS</a>]

00:12:17   at all the kind of clunky and write like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/737">TS</a>]

00:12:20   that famous arthur c clarke you know any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/740">TS</a>]

00:12:22   sufficiently advanced technology is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/742">TS</a>]

00:12:24   indistinguishable from magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/744">TS</a>]

00:12:25   they seem magical i think from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/745">TS</a>]

00:12:28   perspective of the people in the city [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/748">TS</a>]

00:12:29   and the other city because they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/749">TS</a>]

00:12:33   these powers or these technology that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/753">TS</a>]

00:12:35   so far advanced that it's not really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/755">TS</a>]

00:12:37   understood but I think that you could I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/757">TS</a>]

00:12:38   mean that's how I felt about anyways I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/758">TS</a>]

00:12:40   really felt like these are guys who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/760">TS</a>]

00:12:42   not necessarily magical but at the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/762">TS</a>]

00:12:44   time they are in possession of some sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/764">TS</a>]

00:12:46   of technology that lends them a magical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/766">TS</a>]

00:12:48   or a supernatural air [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/768">TS</a>]

00:12:50   yeah there's a bit of this kind of you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/770">TS</a>]

00:12:52   know its reference another Stephenson [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/772">TS</a>]

00:12:53   book of snow crash one could argue that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/773">TS</a>]

00:12:56   it's better on the border of being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/776">TS</a>]

00:12:58   neurological or neural programmers that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/778">TS</a>]

00:13:01   the breach operates because the people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/781">TS</a>]

00:13:03   who act as the breach are able to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/783">TS</a>]

00:13:06   manipulate or understand how everyone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/786">TS</a>]

00:13:08   else has partition their minds and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/788">TS</a>]

00:13:10   they can walk back and forth between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/790">TS</a>]

00:13:12   these two cities by change [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/792">TS</a>]

00:13:14   changing their own perception this whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/794">TS</a>]

00:13:16   there's all this subtle stuff in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/796">TS</a>]

00:13:18   book about the way someone walks the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/798">TS</a>]

00:13:20   collars the the smells [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/800">TS</a>]

00:13:22   there's this hilarious but in which two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/802">TS</a>]

00:13:24   are the police officer and his sergeants [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/804">TS</a>]

00:13:27   been assigned to him he takes her to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/807">TS</a>]

00:13:30   forgot the name of the other city it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/810">TS</a>]

00:13:31   some is al coma a yo-yo ma yeah he'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/811">TS</a>]

00:13:35   come he goes the in so he goes to little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/815">TS</a>]

00:13:37   ill coma in his own City which is like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/817">TS</a>]

00:13:40   immigrant district from the other city [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/820">TS</a>]

00:13:42   and his sergeant gets freaked out for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/822">TS</a>]

00:13:44   second because she thinks she's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/824">TS</a>]

00:13:46   supposed to see it but there are tells [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/826">TS</a>]

00:13:47   in this immigrant area where the colors [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/827">TS</a>]

00:13:50   aren't quite the same smells maybe the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/830">TS</a>]

00:13:52   same and you're thinking you know and as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/832">TS</a>]

00:13:54   I'm going through the same confusion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/834">TS</a>]

00:13:55   reading the book about wait a minute [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/835">TS</a>]

00:13:57   this violates every rule that he told me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/837">TS</a>]

00:13:59   about but all know here's the exception [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/839">TS</a>]

00:14:01   or when they go through a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/841">TS</a>]

00:14:03   when you transition just when he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/843">TS</a>]

00:14:04   gotten you comfortable with the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/844">TS</a>]

00:14:06   city he takes you through to the second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/846">TS</a>]

00:14:08   one that you're that you're suddenly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/848">TS</a>]

00:14:10   going through this transition the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/850">TS</a>]

00:14:12   officer has to go and meet with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/852">TS</a>]

00:14:13   counterpart in the other city and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/853">TS</a>]

00:14:15   suddenly he has to have to go through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/855">TS</a>]

00:14:17   classes to learn to unsee and see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/857">TS</a>]

00:14:19   right things and then goes through this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/859">TS</a>]

00:14:21   transition space that's the same on both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/861">TS</a>]

00:14:23   sides and suddenly he's emerges in his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/863">TS</a>]

00:14:25   own city in the other city you basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/865">TS</a>]

00:14:28   go into this building that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/868">TS</a>]

00:14:29   agreed-upon border point and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/869">TS</a>]

00:14:31   emerge on the other side of the building [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/871">TS</a>]

00:14:32   but you're still in the same city of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/872">TS</a>]

00:14:35   yeah it's the which is my think that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/875">TS</a>]

00:14:36   really i agree with you guys that were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/876">TS</a>]

00:14:38   you like your mind really starts racing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/878">TS</a>]

00:14:40   to catch up right like oh my god what is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/880">TS</a>]

00:14:43   going on how does he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/883">TS</a>]

00:14:45   how do you go from seeing you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/885">TS</a>]

00:14:46   seeing a nun seeing these things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/886">TS</a>]

00:14:48   you have been trained to for all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/888">TS</a>]

00:14:50   years to totally inverting that and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/890">TS</a>]

00:14:54   think you know he does a great job of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/894">TS</a>]

00:14:56   putting us in the shoes then of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/896">TS</a>]

00:14:58   person who feels like sort of as out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/898">TS</a>]

00:15:00   place as we felt coming into the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/900">TS</a>]

00:15:03   what's your verdict is there anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/903">TS</a>]

00:15:04   that we would call sort of traditional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/904">TS</a>]

00:15:05   science fictional here or is there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/905">TS</a>]

00:15:07   the kind of magic of the city in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/907">TS</a>]

00:15:09   city just the concept is is such a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/909">TS</a>]

00:15:11   mind-blower but it's not requiring [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/911">TS</a>]

00:15:13   anything that we don't have in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/913">TS</a>]

00:15:15   regular lives today I think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/915">TS</a>]

00:15:17   fascinating lee in this hazy border i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/917">TS</a>]

00:15:19   think he does everything in his power it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/919">TS</a>]

00:15:21   without working hard is the most amazing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/921">TS</a>]

00:15:24   thing I have to say is that the book is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/924">TS</a>]

00:15:25   really a joy to read you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/925">TS</a>]

00:15:27   and in some ways like it's difficult or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/927">TS</a>]

00:15:28   stressful to read but it's more like he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/928">TS</a>]

00:15:30   presents this great story and he just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/930">TS</a>]

00:15:32   keeps picking up the edge of the way in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/932">TS</a>]

00:15:35   which you think about science fiction or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/935">TS</a>]

00:15:37   fantasy and he's written previous things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/937">TS</a>]

00:15:39   like pretty toes street station is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/939">TS</a>]

00:15:41   fascinating grimy book i felt like i had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/941">TS</a>]

00:15:43   a shower 50 times were in that book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/943">TS</a>]

00:15:45   everything is decaying and grimy but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/945">TS</a>]

00:15:47   perdido Street Station clearly is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/947">TS</a>]

00:15:49   somewhere alien right yeah really it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/949">TS</a>]

00:15:51   science fiction fantasy that the science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/951">TS</a>]

00:15:53   picture that the technology has become [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/953">TS</a>]

00:15:55   so advanced it's magic or there is magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/955">TS</a>]

00:15:58   or whatever there's clearly something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/958">TS</a>]

00:15:59   else going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/959">TS</a>]

00:16:00   this stops you know many many degrees [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/960">TS</a>]

00:16:02   sort of that but I you know I couldn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/962">TS</a>]

00:16:03   tell you when I reread it someone on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/963">TS</a>]

00:16:05   Twitter so to be like well it's clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/965">TS</a>]

00:16:07   blah blah and I'm like okay you're an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/967">TS</a>]

00:16:09   engineer first and second and another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/969">TS</a>]

00:16:11   clear about it like you have to make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/971">TS</a>]

00:16:13   decision you can make a decision you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/973">TS</a>]

00:16:14   start reading the book this is all in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/974">TS</a>]

00:16:16   people's heads mrs. a political metaphor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/976">TS</a>]

00:16:17   but there are points in the book we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/977">TS</a>]

00:16:19   like wait a minute [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/979">TS</a>]

00:16:20   the breach officer or breach whatever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/980">TS</a>]

00:16:22   maybe not under officers the breach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/982">TS</a>]

00:16:23   person has this device that doesn't make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/983">TS</a>]

00:16:28   any sense but is it just a gun and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/988">TS</a>]

00:16:30   looks different or the breach can break [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/990">TS</a>]

00:16:32   into any web site anywhere in the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/992">TS</a>]

00:16:34   but are they just hackers or do they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/994">TS</a>]

00:16:36   have super advanced magical sci-fi [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/996">TS</a>]

00:16:38   technology it's just you never cross the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/998">TS</a>]

00:16:41   book barrier he doesn't give it away at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:43   the NSA all and by the way it's all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1003">TS</a>]

00:16:45   sides yes they're aliens low or or hey [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1005">TS</a>]

00:16:48   was poorly welcome to the breach [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1008">TS</a>]

00:16:50   here's your magical laser that doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:53   happen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1013">TS</a>]

00:16:54   I like what I've read every several of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1014">TS</a>]

00:16:55   his other books including prettiest each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1015">TS</a>]

00:16:57   station and the to follow ons to that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:59   and I would just say from up from a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:01   qualitative standpoint I mean like Glenn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1021">TS</a>]

00:17:03   says it's a very different type of book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1023">TS</a>]

00:17:05   i would argue that is my favorite of all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:07   of his books that I think he does the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1027">TS</a>]

00:17:09   most fully realized job of creating a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1029">TS</a>]

00:17:12   setting which is fascinating because he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:14   spent so much time detailing is totally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1034">TS</a>]

00:17:16   alien settings in pretty do Street [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1036">TS</a>]

00:17:18   Station and the other books in those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1038">TS</a>]

00:17:19   worlds and yet somehow those never came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:21   to life to me is so much as the city in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1041">TS</a>]

00:17:24   the city as as alien and strange as it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1044">TS</a>]

00:17:26   is with these two cities overlying each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1046">TS</a>]

00:17:28   other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:29   I thought it was fantastic and it really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1049">TS</a>]

00:17:31   I I don't know that I would put a label [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1051">TS</a>]

00:17:33   on it by saying that it's science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:34   fiction if I mean if you know very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1054">TS</a>]

00:17:36   broadly speaking you could say it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1056">TS</a>]

00:17:37   fantasy or something like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:40   it's one of the best things i've read of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1060">TS</a>]

00:17:41   any genre do you want to find out by jon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:44   renau not defined as one of the best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1064">TS</a>]

00:17:45   things I've read in years i just i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:47   floored by and I can't wait to pick it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:49   up and read it again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:50   I liked it and I i might read it again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1070">TS</a>]

00:23:23   characters you can really bank on 44 to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1403">TS</a>]

00:23:25   survive the book which i think i like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1405">TS</a>]

00:23:29   a rotation of viewpoint characters going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1409">TS</a>]

00:24:01   certain and as i was reading that seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1441">TS</a>]

00:24:03   like he's not gonna kill this character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1443">TS</a>]

00:25:24   of these two of these characters that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1524">TS</a>]

00:25:26   that I expected would survive certainly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1526">TS</a>]

00:25:29   one of them who had been a viewpoint [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1529">TS</a>]

00:25:30   characters since almost the very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1530">TS</a>]

00:25:31   beginning and don't know they're both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1531">TS</a>]

00:25:33   dead in about four pages homeland just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1533">TS</a>]

00:25:35   dead and you like steak he likes to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1535">TS</a>]

00:25:37   killed while that said that said nothing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1537">TS</a>]

00:25:39   you know it's fantasy it's like you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1539">TS</a>]

00:25:41   fantasy and scifi and comic books right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1541">TS</a>]

00:25:42   nothing's ever forever yes well I I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1542">TS</a>]

00:25:45   don't last and then you get to the end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:46   of that book and you find that that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1546">TS</a>]

00:25:47   true but at the same time I think you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1547">TS</a>]

00:25:50   know there is something to be said for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:52   that you know reality aspect of getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1552">TS</a>]

00:25:55   characters into situations where it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1555">TS</a>]

00:25:58   not like a ridiculous escapade where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1558">TS</a>]

00:26:01   they escaped but in fact you know there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1561">TS</a>]

00:26:02   are casualties right i mean i guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1562">TS</a>]

00:26:04   that's a certain type of writing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1564">TS</a>]

00:26:06   you've got to be sort of sign up for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1566">TS</a>]

00:26:07   that when you go into it but I mean I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1567">TS</a>]

00:26:10   think it's a I sort of relish that not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1570">TS</a>]

00:26:12   because i like the killing characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1572">TS</a>]

00:26:14   off but like because it gives you real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1574">TS</a>]

00:26:15   fear right for all the rest of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1575">TS</a>]

00:26:17   characters you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1577">TS</a>]

00:26:18   the characters you really come to care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1578">TS</a>]

00:26:19   about because you're like oh my god you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:20   know they could conceivably die [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1580">TS</a>]

00:26:23   you know it makes you very invested in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1583">TS</a>]

00:26:25   in the whole storyline is going on there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1585">TS</a>]

00:26:27   and i think that there's something to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1587">TS</a>]

00:26:28   said for that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1588">TS</a>]

00:26:36   Glenn one another another novel that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1596">TS</a>]

00:26:39   mentioned that you read recently and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1599">TS</a>]

00:26:41   we're raving about is for the win by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1601">TS</a>]

00:26:43   cory doctorow yeah and I i would I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1603">TS</a>]

00:26:46   interested in hearing what you thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1606">TS</a>]

00:26:48   about that i read little brother and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1608">TS</a>]

00:26:50   while I admired the sort of technique [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1610">TS</a>]

00:26:54   that he used and some of the plot points [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1614">TS</a>]

00:26:56   i actually despise the book because I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1616">TS</a>]

00:26:58   thought it was such a just ridiculous [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1618">TS</a>]

00:27:00   lecture that it was like a download of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1620">TS</a>]

00:27:03   manifesto in novel form in it really got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1623">TS</a>]

00:27:06   on my bad side so it's for the win gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:09   make me hate cory doctorow more or less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1629">TS</a>]

00:27:13   well I didn't read little brother [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1633">TS</a>]

00:27:14   because i have a feeling it was a plum [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1634">TS</a>]

00:27:16   akin novel form ya young adult novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1636">TS</a>]

00:27:18   perform so that so that teenagers will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1638">TS</a>]

00:27:20   find out why how important it is to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1640">TS</a>]

00:27:22   compile your own I was entirely agree [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1642">TS</a>]

00:27:26   with Jason but I mean that said hi [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:28   I mean I liked the book III mean it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1648">TS</a>]

00:27:31   advantageous agreement of fun [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1651">TS</a>]

00:27:33   yeah i mean i-i know you know that stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1653">TS</a>]

00:27:35   right because you know Corey's politics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1655">TS</a>]

00:27:36   going into it and he's not one to ever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1656">TS</a>]

00:27:38   hold back from that kind of thing I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1658">TS</a>]

00:27:40   a hard a hard SF story he had to hugo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1660">TS</a>]

00:27:43   nominees last year one was a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1663">TS</a>]

00:27:44   brother and was this hard SF story that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1664">TS</a>]

00:27:46   he wrote that was great it was so great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1666">TS</a>]

00:27:48   and I think in the end I realized it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1668">TS</a>]

00:27:50   because if it was political it wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1670">TS</a>]

00:27:53   political in that sort of polemic you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1673">TS</a>]

00:27:55   know lecturing kind of feeling that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1675">TS</a>]

00:27:58   got from what if you ever go read down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1678">TS</a>]

00:28:00   and out in the magic kingdom yes also a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1680">TS</a>]

00:28:01   right which is also very good and is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1681">TS</a>]

00:28:03   also shied away from that his sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1683">TS</a>]

00:28:06   political leanings but I mean I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1686">TS</a>]

00:28:08   he's a talented writer and he's a is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1688">TS</a>]

00:28:09   mark I and you know I i know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:12   there's a lot of you know his work is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1692">TS</a>]

00:28:15   also very very divisive in that regard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1695">TS</a>]

00:28:16   because of the politics i think i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1696">TS</a>]

00:28:18   he's an extremist and I generally yes i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1698">TS</a>]

00:28:21   agree with sort of what he's about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1701">TS</a>]

00:28:24   but not to the extreme that he takes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:25   right I don't mind having political [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1705">TS</a>]

00:28:28   statement obviously the windup girl is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:31   deeply political book as a sci-fi novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:34   it's incredibly political but I didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1714">TS</a>]

00:28:37   mind it because it was about it was all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1717">TS</a>]

00:28:39   kind of infused in a setting where as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1719">TS</a>]

00:28:41   little brother was just their whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1721">TS</a>]

00:28:45   chapters that were like he well he took [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1725">TS</a>]

00:28:47   his xbox and he used the open-source [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:49   colonel too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1729">TS</a>]

00:28:50   create the encrypted network so that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1730">TS</a>]

00:28:53   she's like oh my god it's it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1733">TS</a>]

00:28:55   theirs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1735">TS</a>]

00:28:56   it's just all artifice the final are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1736">TS</a>]

00:28:57   there at all sounds like Atlas Shrugged [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1737">TS</a>]

00:29:00   only completely different with Atlas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1740">TS</a>]

00:29:04   coated annapolis web [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1744">TS</a>]

00:29:06   well I you know having that little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:07   brother I can address that although you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1747">TS</a>]

00:29:09   know core is an extremist and he's and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1749">TS</a>]

00:29:11   he's unapologetically you know in favor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:13   of certain things regardless of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1753">TS</a>]

00:29:14   consequences but I i think for the way I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1754">TS</a>]

00:29:16   say for the win for the win because it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1756">TS</a>]

00:29:19   is much more like down out the magic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:21   kingdom and it's got it you know first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1761">TS</a>]

00:29:23   off its a rollicking good story like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1763">TS</a>]

00:29:25   it's it's a story that spools itself out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1765">TS</a>]

00:29:29   in a really interesting way taking place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1769">TS</a>]

00:29:31   across I don't know four continents all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1771">TS</a>]

00:29:34   the protagonist just about our teenagers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1774">TS</a>]

00:29:37   are a few adults involved and it is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1777">TS</a>]

00:29:40   insight into a world that Corey [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1780">TS</a>]

00:29:41   understands quite well and he clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1781">TS</a>]

00:29:43   saw expert help to tell the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:45   correctly in places he didn't know so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1785">TS</a>]

00:29:47   there's a lot of stuff about multiplayer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1787">TS</a>]

00:29:48   worldwide multiplayer games games that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1788">TS</a>]

00:29:50   he's invented for the book but that have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1790">TS</a>]

00:29:52   a close resemblance to games out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1792">TS</a>]

00:29:54   so it's set within and without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1794">TS</a>]

00:29:56   is it said sort of in a game world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1796">TS</a>]

00:29:59   in the real world or is it both or one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1799">TS</a>]

00:30:01   or the other it's more like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1801">TS</a>]

00:30:03   description of a about well you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1803">TS</a>]

00:30:05   action is based on a story he wrote i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1805">TS</a>]

00:30:07   blanking on the name of a little Anya or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1807">TS</a>]

00:30:22   polemical no but I know this is what's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1822">TS</a>]

00:30:24   funny is i mean the book and the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1824">TS</a>]

00:30:27   elements he's i interviewed Corey a few [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1827">TS</a>]

00:30:50   verisimilitude it's not like what people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1850">TS</a>]

00:30:52   think their lives are like it's much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1852">TS</a>]

00:30:53   more what from my reading at least their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1853">TS</a>]

00:30:55   lives are actually like he doesn't hide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1855">TS</a>]

00:30:57   the grid the danger the TDM and all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1857">TS</a>]

00:31:00   but it's still a very good strong story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1860">TS</a>]

00:31:02   now in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1862">TS</a>]

00:31:03   this is gonna sound ridiculous in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1863">TS</a>]

00:31:06   middle of this he explains how things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1866">TS</a>]

00:31:07   like credit default swaps work and I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1867">TS</a>]

00:31:10   know that sounds pretty boring and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1870">TS</a>]

00:31:12   political and it is not it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1872">TS</a>]

00:31:14   entertaining because he's weaving this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1874">TS</a>]

00:31:16   story about this sort of rise of a new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1876">TS</a>]

00:31:18   working class and that suppressed and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1878">TS</a>]

00:31:20   he's telling it to the voices of all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1880">TS</a>]

00:31:22   these very very interesting people and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1882">TS</a>]

00:31:24   events that were familiar with you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1884">TS</a>]

00:31:26   uprisings put down in china and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1886">TS</a>]

00:31:28   shifting of labor and gold farming you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1888">TS</a>]

00:31:30   know if you know if you follow this at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1890">TS</a>]

00:31:32   all there are thousands tens of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1892">TS</a>]

00:31:33   thousands millions of people worldwide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1893">TS</a>]

00:31:35   whose entire occupation in very poor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1895">TS</a>]

00:31:37   conditions is to go into these massive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1897">TS</a>]

00:31:39   multiplayer online games and too tedious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1899">TS</a>]

00:31:42   tasks to make gold that is sold in game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1902">TS</a>]

00:31:44   the players for real money through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1904">TS</a>]

00:31:46   various means and some games tolerated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1906">TS</a>]

00:31:48   some do not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1908">TS</a>]

00:31:49   but there are ways around it and I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1909">TS</a>]

00:31:50   that's the core is this like real world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1910">TS</a>]

00:31:52   situation that sounds ridiculous but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1912">TS</a>]

00:31:54   there are millions and millions of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1914">TS</a>]

00:31:55   people but i believe think this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1915">TS</a>]

00:31:57   documented now engaged in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1917">TS</a>]

00:31:59   profession you know they're working in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1919">TS</a>]

00:32:00   sweatshops 12 hours a day or whatever to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1920">TS</a>]

00:32:02   farming game and so it would be science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1922">TS</a>]

00:32:05   fiction it were actually real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1925">TS</a>]

00:32:07   yeah I i mean is that sounds like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1927">TS</a>]

00:32:09   science fictional premise and yet it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1929">TS</a>]

00:32:12   it's true there it's the arbitrage of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1932">TS</a>]

00:32:14   the developed world versus developing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1934">TS</a>]

00:32:15   world is that there's and the internet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1935">TS</a>]

00:32:17   leverages the ability for the developing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1937">TS</a>]

00:32:19   world to use it's incredibly cheap labor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1939">TS</a>]

00:32:21   to produce the results that would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1941">TS</a>]

00:32:22   unbelievably marginal in the developed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1942">TS</a>]

00:32:25   world like I'm not going to put 12 hours [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1945">TS</a>]

00:32:27   in for the equivalent of one dollar and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1947">TS</a>]

00:32:29   to make you know to be paid that and to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1949">TS</a>]

00:32:31   make ten dollars for my employers and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1951">TS</a>]

00:32:33   that's possible in china and india and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1953">TS</a>]

00:32:34   some other places so you know I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1954">TS</a>]

00:32:36   the story is very enjoyable that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1956">TS</a>]

00:32:37   know i'll tell you the brief narrative [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1957">TS</a>]

00:32:38   without giving anything away is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1958">TS</a>]

00:32:40   it's basically gamers all over the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1960">TS</a>]

00:32:42   some of them gold farmers some of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1962">TS</a>]

00:32:44   more interested in the gameplay wind up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:46   feeling like compressed and betrayed and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1966">TS</a>]

00:32:49   as if they could have a voice and don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1969">TS</a>]

00:32:51   and they develop essentially a worldwide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1971">TS</a>]

00:32:53   workers network that allows them to try [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1973">TS</a>]

00:32:56   to push for like unionization and other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1976">TS</a>]

00:32:57   things again the sound stuff polemical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1977">TS</a>]

00:32:59   but it's a really fun story it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1979">TS</a>]

00:33:01   get overwrought any mixes in economic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1981">TS</a>]

00:33:04   education in a way that is totally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1984">TS</a>]

00:33:06   natural because he's trying to explain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1986">TS</a>]

00:33:08   to both me as someone who's a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1988">TS</a>]

00:33:10   technical person but not a gamer and two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1990">TS</a>]

00:33:12   other people who are not involved in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1992">TS</a>]

00:33:13   world always try to explain how the game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1993">TS</a>]

00:33:15   economy works in terms of the real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1995">TS</a>]

00:33:17   autonomy as opposed to the real economy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1997">TS</a>]

00:33:19   in terms of game economies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/1999">TS</a>]

00:33:27   like it was on fire because it's just it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2007">TS</a>]

00:33:29   is a rollicking good read and you'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2009">TS</a>]

00:33:31   understand credit default swaps [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2011">TS</a>]

00:33:33   afterward with is reading like it's on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2013">TS</a>]

00:33:35   fire the opposite of what I couldn't put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2015">TS</a>]

00:33:36   it down because it's like it that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:44   way as if the pages were burning away as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2024">TS</a>]

00:33:47   i read them i was reading so fast there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:49   is a market that Corey would probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2029">TS</a>]

00:33:51   oppose books that incinerator [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2031">TS</a>]

00:33:54   well he'd argue that any book with DRM [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2034">TS</a>]

00:33:57   is essentially a Burn After Reading well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2037">TS</a>]

00:34:00   don't share the dvds that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2040">TS</a>]

00:34:14   available as a free download in its it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2054">TS</a>]

00:35:03   it's like your typical movie where it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:04   on the run from you know the man and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2104">TS</a>]

00:35:23   guessing since we're still like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2123">TS</a>]

00:35:24   establishing a format sure there is no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2124">TS</a>]

00:35:26   format is that we have also what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2126">TS</a>]

00:35:27   discovered already [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2127">TS</a>]

00:36:04   don't burn themselves glad the is a book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2164">TS</a>]

00:36:08   suggested by cory doctorow on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2168">TS</a>]

00:36:10   bling-bling blog and i immediately got a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2170">TS</a>]

00:36:12   library surprisingly and bitter seeds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2172">TS</a>]

00:36:15   and the the synopsis i just read it I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2175">TS</a>]

00:36:17   think officially a couple weeks ago and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2177">TS</a>]

00:36:19   it's not see Superman who are really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2179">TS</a>]

00:36:22   Superman and super powerful beings that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:25   are evil that are sort of helping us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2185">TS</a>]

00:36:27   during World War two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2187">TS</a>]

00:36:28   so it's it's entertaining but a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2188">TS</a>]

00:36:30   crazy and it gets crazier as a novel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2190">TS</a>]

00:36:32   goes on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2192">TS</a>]

00:36:32   I'd say ultimately disappointing but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2192">TS</a>]

00:36:34   very interesting and well-written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2194">TS</a>]

00:36:36   fascinating and sort of becomes more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2196">TS</a>]

00:36:40   comic booky as the book goes on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2200">TS</a>]

00:36:42   wow I haven't even heard of that who's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:57   loading in tribulus is his name [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2217">TS</a>]

00:37:00   alright who i believe is written a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2220">TS</a>]

00:37:02   previous books i think this has gotten [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:03   more play in some of his earlier novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2223">TS</a>]

00:37:06   everyone wants to believe that the Nazis [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2226">TS</a>]

00:37:08   had actual Superman not just big brawny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2228">TS</a>]

00:37:11   blonde people so I want to believe that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2231">TS</a>]

00:37:13   yes we all we all want not Superman but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2233">TS</a>]

00:37:16   he's actually done something about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:17   but what if there were with Dan what are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2237">TS</a>]

00:37:20   you reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2240">TS</a>]

00:37:21   I'm currently reading I set aside i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2241">TS</a>]

00:37:24   a part of the way through a nonfiction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2244">TS</a>]

00:37:26   book Michael Lewis is the big short [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:27   which is very good outside the realm of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2247">TS</a>]

00:37:29   this project [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2249">TS</a>]

00:37:30   yes and I said it aside to read uh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2250">TS</a>]

00:37:32   because I got out the library so i only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2252">TS</a>]

00:37:34   have a week to read it which is likely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2254">TS</a>]

00:37:35   to the library that's like drm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2255">TS</a>]

00:37:38   and live like it's like it's like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2258">TS</a>]

00:37:39   on fire Shane library man called tongues [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2259">TS</a>]

00:37:43   of serpents which is the sixth book in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2263">TS</a>]

00:37:47   series by a woman named Naomi Novik [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2267">TS</a>]

00:37:50   which basically is predicated on this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2270">TS</a>]

00:37:52   premise of its the Napoleonic Wars and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2272">TS</a>]

00:37:55   ships are fighting oh there's these huge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2275">TS</a>]

00:37:57   naval battles but they're also dragons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2277">TS</a>]

00:38:00   I've been addicted to this series to i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2280">TS</a>]

00:38:02   picked up the first 1i think it was free [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2282">TS</a>]

00:38:04   as a kindle book from amazon right that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2284">TS</a>]

00:38:06   understands what they do is the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:07   first book is free and you're all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2287">TS</a>]

00:38:10   publishers have realized that if I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2290">TS</a>]

00:38:12   get you hooked on a free book 1 then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2292">TS</a>]

00:38:14   rest of them you will follow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2294">TS</a>]

00:38:15   I really wanted first posterous to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2295">TS</a>]

00:38:18   and I read it and I'm like this is darn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:20   good that makes me actually over there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2300">TS</a>]

00:38:22   could be dragons turn the polyamine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2302">TS</a>]

00:38:24   because basically the way that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2304">TS</a>]

00:38:25   organize it is it the dragons are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2305">TS</a>]

00:38:27   basically they've always been dragons [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2307">TS</a>]

00:38:28   dragons are basically used as like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2308">TS</a>]

00:38:31   aerial core like the like it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2311">TS</a>]

00:38:33   world war one dog fights except they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2313">TS</a>]

00:38:35   on dragons instead of in planes but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2315">TS</a>]

00:38:37   sector employees or so if you want like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2317">TS</a>]

00:38:39   the high-concept log mine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2319">TS</a>]

00:38:40   it's like Dragon dogfight it's like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2320">TS</a>]

00:38:43   like Horatio Hornblower streets and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2323">TS</a>]

00:38:45   McCaffrey wow oh my god that is Ananda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2325">TS</a>]

00:38:49   poliana quartz which means Scoville like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2329">TS</a>]

00:38:50   it because its historical exactly i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2330">TS</a>]

00:38:53   actually I well i bought the first three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2333">TS</a>]

00:38:55   of those in paperback and I haven't read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2335">TS</a>]

00:38:57   that yeah well she came out this was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2337">TS</a>]

00:38:59   kind of weird because the first we were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2339">TS</a>]

00:39:00   released as tree as mass-market [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2340">TS</a>]

00:39:02   paperbacks all the same time because I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2342">TS</a>]

00:39:03   guess she told she had written the three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2343">TS</a>]

00:39:05   of them like a whore and she's now up to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2345">TS</a>]

00:39:07   the sixth one I I have to say I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2347">TS</a>]

00:39:09   she gets interesting threads as the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2349">TS</a>]

00:39:11   series goes on because i think that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2351">TS</a>]

00:39:14   dragons in this world are all like not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2354">TS</a>]

00:39:16   just you know ascension but like pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2356">TS</a>]

00:39:18   Darren intelligent like they can all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2358">TS</a>]

00:39:20   they're all got like facilities for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2360">TS</a>]

00:39:21   languages and and stuff like that so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2361">TS</a>]

00:39:24   that their becomes a very interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2364">TS</a>]

00:39:26   issue of do they have rights you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2366">TS</a>]

00:39:29   what is the sort of you know how should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2369">TS</a>]

00:39:31   they be treated to be treated like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2371">TS</a>]

00:39:32   animals should be treated like people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2372">TS</a>]

00:39:34   and it does it was kind of cool schools [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2374">TS</a>]

00:39:37   that she totally spans the globe with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2377">TS</a>]

00:39:39   the adventures that they start you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2379">TS</a>]

00:39:41   in sort of England napoleonic wars and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2381">TS</a>]

00:39:43   then they span out to Africa and China [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2383">TS</a>]

00:39:45   and in this most current volume [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2385">TS</a>]

00:39:47   australia and she's got a great year for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2387">TS</a>]

00:39:50   the dialogue and settings are fantastic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2390">TS</a>]

00:39:53   i do think that her plots have started [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2393">TS</a>]

00:39:54   to lose a little bit of thread and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:56   think she said there's a she has ideas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2396">TS</a>]

00:39:58   for a couple more books but I hoping [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2398">TS</a>]

00:40:00   that you sort of wrap this up and moves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2400">TS</a>]

00:40:01   on to something else because I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2401">TS</a>]

00:40:02   she's been immersed herself in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2402">TS</a>]

00:40:03   Napoleonic Wars for long enough haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2403">TS</a>]

00:40:06   we all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:06   and Scott got whatever what are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:09   reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2409">TS</a>]

00:40:09   I will speak i'm not reading this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2409">TS</a>]

00:40:11   currently but it involves dragon so i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2411">TS</a>]

00:40:13   will mention it very briefly I guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2413">TS</a>]

00:40:15   magazine the the adamantine palace was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2415">TS</a>]

00:40:19   really good book about a it's a fantasy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2419">TS</a>]

00:40:22   book and it's basically these people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2422">TS</a>]

00:40:24   kind of enslaved the dragons and drug [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2424">TS</a>]

00:40:26   them up so that they are docile and no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2426">TS</a>]

00:40:29   longer control themselves and can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2429">TS</a>]

00:40:31   written and it follows the path of one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2431">TS</a>]

00:40:33   dragon who kind of gets free of this and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2433">TS</a>]

00:40:36   regains its intelligence so check that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2436">TS</a>]

00:49:53   events that lead up to the apocalypse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2993">TS</a>]

00:49:55   and the last chapters are take place in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2995">TS</a>]

00:49:59   the same location at the moment where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/2999">TS</a>]

00:50:02   the apocalypse is happening and at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/3002">TS</a>]

00:50:05   kind of climax of the book after the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/3005">TS</a>]

00:50:07   apocalypse is is over and done with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZ-cEeU/3007">TS</a>]
