1 Amy Schumer & Brianne Howey on the Importance of Female Friendships, Navigating Hollywood's Double Standards, Sharing Their Birth Stories, and MORE 50:05
Ministry for the Future - Heatwaves, Super-Storms, and Cutting-Edge Climate Tech!
Manage episode 461076567 series 3289882
The book somehow manages to be optimistic at the same time that it realistically portrays horrific climate catastrophes - the opening chapter will stick with you forever. That said, it also suffers from some of KSR's usual writing quirks: weak characters and a pretty loosely defined plot. We talk about it all, the good, the bad, and the terrifyingly hot!
As always, no spoilers until the end when we get into the full plot explanation and discussion.
This episode is sponsored by The Pythagorean by Alexander Morpheigh, which is available in print or kindle edition here.
