The first installment of Cixin Liu’s epic trilogy “Remembrance of Earth’s Past” takes its name from a famously unsolvable problem in orbital mechanics and that sets the tone for the heady, complex, hard science fiction of what’s to come. In episode 306, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they are just beginning their journey into this series with Part One and Part Two, appreciate Ken Liu’s translation, explore the Chinese Cultural Revolution through the character Ye Wenjie, witness the most ominous countdown of all time with Wang Miao, and wonder about the mechanics of what seems like a very important game.

Join them next week for their thoughts on the first four episodes of Dan Weiss and David Benioff’s Netflix adaptation!

James Bond has a long history in film, but before the suave, debonair spy came to the screen he got started in Ian Fleming’s novel in a much different form. In episode 304, Join Luke & James as they try to find something to like in a more sexist version of Bond, get lost in the rules of baccarat, and speculate about what future books in this series might look like. Join them next week when they compare the book to the film starring Daniel Craig and directed by Martin Campbell!
