The Dispossessed part 2: Why would capitalism make me do this?
Om avsnittet
This week we wrap up our discussion of Ursula LeGuin's 1974 classic The Dispossessed.
Simultaneity physics: just a mcguffin, or deeper thematic significance? How is it different to a block universe? Does this count as hard sci-fi?
on the [redacted] scene: why would LeGuin include this? how are we supposed to feel about our hero Shevek? why would capitalism make me do this??
Final thoughts on the book: was Shevek's arc satisfying? who would we recommend it to? are we gonna read more LeGuin?
Ted Chiang story coming soon. plus special guest episode!
