MP3•Pagina principale dell'episodio

We're still here! Grumpier than ever, complaining about things we probably shouldn't be, reading books, talking.

And you're still listening! Thank you. We've been away for a long time for...reasons. But we are momentarily back, and maybe we'll be back again soon to talk about Napoleon and Ridley Scott. But this time we chat about the impossibilities and injustices of the working day under capitalism, capitalist education (indoctrination) and entertainment (propaganda), and let you in on what we've been reading instead of KSR, namely:

Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler

LOTS of Philip K. Dick, especially Flow My Tears the Policeman Said, Dr. Futurity, and Clans of the Alphane Moon

the crime noir novels of Jean-Patrick Manchette

The Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon

Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "Direction of the Road"

Grapes of Wrath

and Bartolome de las Casas, just as a pick-me-up

You cannot hear a cat purring at around 37:40, college students are planning for a future they don't believe will arrive, and we're all wondering when our last hot shower will happen.

Happy Thanksgiving, and please to enjoy.
