Welcome back to Banned Camp, where we're diving deep into the eerie world of A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. In this episode, Jennifer and Dan read chapter 8, taking us through a thrilling exploration of Camazotz. On this planet, conformity reigns, and individuality is crushed under the weight of a singular, controlling mind.
This time, our hosts tackle the sinister developments in Camazotz, as Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace confront the chilling reality of a society where "IT" holds sway. Jennifer reads passages that reveal the trio's struggle against the homogenization of thought and Charles Wallace's chilling loss to IT's influence. Dan theorizes about the mechanisms of control and the implications of fear as a tool for compliance, drawing eerie parallels to real-world dictatorships.

After reading that last paragraph, Dan thinks AI makes him sound smarter than he is. Anywho...
