The Minority Report and Sci-Fi, ft. The Pod Universe

We promise we're super mature with Philip K. Dick's last name. Mostly.

This week we're taking on Philip K. Dick's 1956 sci-fi novelette, "The Minority Report." What if you could solve crime before it happens? What if said process led to a lot of violence and exploitation? What if you dealt with all that that while worrying that your wife was cheating on you with your hotter assistant? That's more or less the vibe here.

We go further and discuss science fiction's broader contribution (positive and negative) to our culture's political imagination, and think about the future of the genre.

We couldn't have done this without our remarkable guests: Dalton and Dylan of The Pod Universe. If you like cool sci-fi, great podcast, and boundless creativity, you'll love their work. After all, they're making a whole cinematic universe...in podcast form!!
