Will and Matt talk to Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Mars Trilogy, 2312 and last year’s Ministry for the Future. They discuss reckoning with climate change, science fiction literature as an attempt to conceive of our own future’s history, and what kinds of beliefs humans might need to survive that future.

    well thank you for that

    well you see i dont know why the most popular tv show isn't this show ive imagined thats vampires vs zombies. the vampires are like the capitalists because they are sort of sucking our blood? and we are the zombies because we are sort of shambling and denied the full experience of our yumanity.

    also elon isnt a good guy or a bad guy but he's kind of a good guy :very-smart:

      Yeah, I was wtf too. To write books with timelines spanning millennia he probably needs to be pretty zoomed out. He's probably met the players and spoken at at many paid silicon valley vampire events too tbh.

      His books are still almost all essential reads imo.
