The Thoughtful Gamer Podcast

Marc, Orion, and Matt continue their discussion of this incredible sci-fi trilogy. This time they're talking about the 2nd book, which is probably the most divisive but also the most tightly constructed. As always, major SPOILER WARNING! We're spoiling it all. If you have any interest, we recommend you read the books first. There's sci-fi concepts in here as good as anything Asimov ever did. 1:36 - Translation differences 3:14 - Cinematic feelings 6:21 - Not for the last time, we bring up scope 8:00 - Wallfacers 17:59 - Cosmic sociology 22:32 - Human sociology 28:00 - Droplet 33:50 - Dead man's switch 35:54 - Matt's gripes 41:21 - The dark forest Music: Sailing The Solar Wind by Abstraction Like the podcast?
