Ep 741 - Monk & Robot, by Becky Chambers

Usually when robots gain sentience in fiction, they rise up and slay or otherwise subjugate their human creators, but this week's book dares to imagine what might happen if they stood up, looked around, said "thanks but no thanks," and left. It also ponders the meaning of existence, just for good measure. Monk & Robot collects two previously published novels: A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy.

Ep 739 - Fun With Dick and Jane, and other stories

See Andrew and Craig. See Andrew and Craig read. Read, Andrew and Craig, read! The Dick and Jane characters are still widely known, even though their heyday as The Main Way American Kids Learn How To Read has long since passed.
