Annihilation

What happens when you can't trust your teammates, your senses, or even your own mind? Impenetrable secrets, deadly environments, and the nature of what can be known all await as Aurora and Ketho dive into the eerie and mind-bending scifi novella Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. patreon.com/swordsandsocialism Email: SwordsAndSocialismPod@protonmail.com The Show: @SwordsNSocPod Aurora: @Herbo_Anarchist Ketho: @StupidPuma69

City of Brass

If you like djinn, magic, and the whole world teaming up to make one woman's life worse, then you'll enjoy Aurora and Trevor talking about City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty. Set far outside the Euro-centric confines of most fantasy, City of Brass mixes deep and interesting world building with characters we loved to hate. Also war crimes. patreon.com/swordsandsocialism Email: SwordsAndSocialismPod@protonmail.com The Show: @SwordsNSocPod Aurora: @Herbo_Anarchist Ketho: @StupidPuma69

The Left Hand of Darkness

It's time for a classic. We are joined by returning champion Trevor to discuss Ursula K. Le Guin's seminal work, The Left Hand of Darkness. We talk about gender, how you have states without war, and of course, the balance of light and dark. patreon.com/swordsandsocialism Email: SwordsAndSocialismPod@protonmail.com The Show: @SwordsNSocPod Aurora: @Herbo_Anarchist Ketho: @StupidPuma69

Feed

It's time for a little sci-fi horror! This episode we are joined by Bry and Fry from the Pontifacts pod to talk about Feed by Mira Grant. A near future were zombies are a fact of everyday life, bloggers are super important, and we look with post 2020 eyes at how someone in 2010 imagined we would react to a world wide deadly pandemic. Sometimes dystopia is actually more positive that reality. @pontifactspod https://pontifacts.podbean.com/ patreon.com/swordsandsocialism Email: SwordsAndSocialismPod@protonmail.com The Show: @SwordsNSocPod Aurora: @Herbo_Anarchist Ketho: @StupidPuma69

This Is How You Lose The Time War

We are back for the end of Pride Month with one of Aurora's favorite books, the lesbian scifi love story This Is How You Lose The Time War. Robotic bodies, complex time travel, and handwritten love letters dominate this wonderful book. patreon.com/swordsandsocialism Email: SwordsAndSocialismPod@protonmail.com The Show: @SwordsNSocPod Aurora: @Herbo_Anarchist Ketho: @StupidPuma69
