Listen "Ranting about Mediocrity: Murderbots v. Replicants"
Episode Synopsis
This week we're talking about the pervasive mediocrity in modern sci-fi. All Systems Red is a multi-award winning piece of reasonably good--although uncreative--science fiction from 2017 which inspired Rudy to read a book he thought it was cribbing off of: Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"What Rudy discovered terrified him.Mentioned this episode:"Will Save the Galaxy for Food" by Yahtzee Croshawhttps://a.co/d/bqW8Fek"Crabs on the Island" by Anatoly Dneprovhttps://archive.org/details/AnatolyDneprovCrabsOnTheIsland/mode/2up"What the Soul Still Fears" by Rudolph Kohnhttps://a.co/d/iE0DCMX"The Good Guy" by Justin Fraserhttps://a.co/d/6rKYpuGCheck out our fiction at:(Justin)https://muppy.substack.com(Rudy)https://rnkfiction.blogspot.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@RudolphKohnAnd follow us on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/NinjaMouseChuandhttps://twitter.com/Rudolph_Kohn
