Gary Wolfe and I are back by ourselves, guest-less, recording the podcast live from Chicago and Perth on a sunny Sunday morning. We spend some time discussing:
- The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi
- how quantum mechanics has changed hard SF and whether hard SF really can continue to exist as we once knew it;
- Zendegi by Greg Egan;
- What I Didn’t See: Stories by Karen Joy Fowler;
- James Tiptree Jr, feminism, diversity and SF;
- what a great year 2010 is proving to be; and
- our first official “Book You Don’t Need to Read“.
This is our longest ever podcast, so our apologies for going on a bit. We hope you enjoy it as always and will see you next weekend!
I have very fond memories of A PRINCESS OF MARS
I have very fond memories of A PRINCESS OF MARS but am afraid to read it again for the reasons you stated. I’ll just keep my memories as they are.
Thanks for the info about the Fleisher animation. I’m looking forward to looking it up.
I think it’s safer not to go back, sometimes.
I have fond memories of the COVER of “Princess Of Mars” (probably the less said the better).
