    From the Vault: Return to Oz (1985 film)

    Dystopian Storytelling with a Purpose in “Wool” (2011 Novel)

In episode 319, join Luke & James as they discuss the value of dystopian storytelling, authors as a class destroyed, a different sort of tragic romance, and what worldbuilding details really sell this bold premise.
