“Why has our inner life become so impoverished and empty, and why has our outer life become so exorbitant, and why in its subjective satisfactions even more empty?
Great episode! Discovering William Gibson was a moment outside time. That first read was such a jolt of strangeness, yet familiar in setting. Johnny Mnemonic and the Gernsback Continuum are my favorites from that collection.
Fredric Brown is a writer who has been recommended to me a lot on X, but for his mysteries and crime thrillers.
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! :) Gibson is important, he's a temporal marker in popular literature. And Fredric Brown is great, I've never read anything of his I didn't like. He was also, pretty much, the inventor of microfiction. A highly recommended author. Cheers! :)
Yes Gibson become a ground zero cultural event, and the impact of Neuromancer is something we're still feeling today. I'm curious about the up and coming series.
Fredric Brown has a solid reputation. I'll try to read his work this summer;)

If you do, you'll have to let me know which one and what you thought of it. :)
Yes, I will! I'll post about here as well 😀
Good! :)
