Listen "Against a Dark Background"
Episode Synopsis
Iain M. Banks spirits us away to a crumbling solar system where technological advancement and supremacy comes not in what its inhabitants can make for themselves, but in what they can pilfer from the ruins of the countless failed civilizations that came before. Come for the homicidal cultists and daring heists; stay for the existential dread!(Minor "spoilers" between 1:09:24 and 1:13:40).
