0G99: WWZ and Lifeboat Ethics, Part 1
Apr 8, 2020
Moving with the kind of speed you'd have hoped to see in our federal government, we have pivoted away from our Culture coverage (don't worry it's just bumped down the timeline a bit) to current events with Max Brooks's epic masterpiece World War Z. Easily one of the best works of horror fiction around. For part one, we talk through the consequentialist arguments in the first half, while marveling at all the disturbing similarities to the daily news. Part two is gonna cover the loss of humanity side of the book, so buckle up.
