a kim stanley robinson read-along podcast with regular forays into utopia. hosted by some friends who are into communism, science fiction and other stuff
Sorry, sorry, sorry! I'm a lazy loser, what can I say. We recorded this probably at least a month ago and I just sat on it. Well, here it is in time for Turkey Day.
We intended to get it out before or at least at the same time as the release of Guillermo del Toro's (execrable) Frankenstein, but oh well. We had fully intended to do an episode on the film, but we found it so plodding, dull, ponderous, and in general bad that we may not. Honestly it just made us angry. "Why?" is the question about almost every decision made.
ANYWAY, this episode is us wrapping up the great novel that del Toro simply did not understand. We talk the French Revolution, Malthus, stuckness, modernity. All good, terrible things. Please to enjoy!

Frankenstein 1.4-7: The Consolation of Elizabeth
In which the Frankensteins summon the courage and wherewithal to not lift a finger to save an innocent girl from being executed by the state and the very fair people who run it (themselves).
Sorry this episode is a little (a lot) late, but so it goes. The next episode will be a bit delayed as well because of vacations, school starting, etc., but stay tuned.
