    My Internet Has Stopped Working Episode 4: Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

    Herland is about three clueless guys—Van, Jeff, and Terry—who discover a hidden society of women living without men for 2,000 years. These women reproduce through parthenogenesis, meaning no men required. The guys think they're about to be heroes, but the women have built a peaceful, efficient society and don't need saving. Terry, the macho man, tries to assert his dominance and fails miserably. Jeff, the romantic, treats the women like delicate flowers, which they find amusing. Van, the narrator, starts to appreciate Herland's way of life. The women capture the men, teach them their language, and show them how a society can thrive without patriarchy. The men fall for their captors, but the women want equal partners, not traditional romance. Terry can't handle it and gets kicked out. Van and his love interest, Ellador, leave Herland to explore the outside world, while Jeff stays behind, smitten with the utopian life. Herland is a snarky critique of early 20th-century gender roles, wrapped in a fun, adventurous package.

Our heroine, Flynne Fisher, thinks she’s just filling in for her brother in a virtual reality game. But plot twist! She witnesses a murder that turns out to be very real and very future. Meanwhile, in a distant, post-apocalyptic London, we meet Wilf Netherton, a publicist navigating a world where technology has both advanced and regressed in the weirdest ways. These two timelines collide through the use of “peripherals”—avatars that allow people to interact across time. It’s a wild ride of conspiracy, futuristic tech, and the ever-looming question: how much can we really control our destiny? So, grab your VR headsets and join us as we unravel the tangled threads of The Peripheral. It’s a tale of two futures, one murder, and a whole lot of sci-fi goodness! What do you think? Ready to dive into the world of The Peripheral?
