New episode!
It's time for a book that SHOULD have been good but is bad - PKD and Roger Zelazny's Deus Irae. Confused theology, mishmashed desert journeys, and cannibal computers (?) all blend together in a collaboration that should, and almost did, stay unpublished.

Eden is joined by friend of the cast Jesse Kohn (The Book of Webs) to talk about Leonora Carrington's beguiling and dense The Stone Door. Unfortunately this episode is marred by the Brown University and Bondi Beach shootings. A better world is possible. Demand utopia.

Langdon and Eden kick things off by talking about the curational uses of literary awards.
Then, John M. Ford's alternate version of cyberpunk with Web of Angels, his debut novel. Galactic phone lines and weird space opera, in a rough book that brims with passion!

Massive congrats to @vajra.me! As you might know, we loved Rakesfall and had Vajra on to discuss the book, colonialism, voice, weird time structures, the complicated legacy of Arthur C. Clarke and more!

Hey everyone, bit of a slow down in output as Eden tries not to get worked to death. It's not going well. But we have some killer books for you so stay tuned. In the meantime, let's listen to some weird metal together.
