Episode 046: Three Views of a Parking Lot by Ken Liu

Welcome to the new episode of the Wolf Podcast. Today, I’m back with my cohost Kyle Muntz! Today we’re talking about Three View of a Parking Lot by Ken Liu published at The Sunday Morning Transport. We have a wide ranging discussion about the story that leads to how contemporary society deals with political problems, the structure, shape, and purpose of cities, and what consciousness and civilization is. Check out his new novel All That We See or Seem, which was released last week! Ken Liu is an American author of speculative fiction. A winner of the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy awards for his fiction, he has also won top genre honors abroad in Japan, Spain, and France. Liu’s most characteristic work is the four-volume epic fantasy series, The Dandelion Dynasty, in which engineers, not wizards, are the heroes of a silkpunk world on the verge of modernity. His debut collection of short fiction, The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories, has been published in more than a dozen languages. A second collection, The Hidden Girl and Other Stories, followed. He also penned the Star Wars novel, The Legends of Luke Skywalker. His latest book is All That We See or Seem, a techno-thriller starring an AI-whispering hacker who saves the world.
