Early Release: Methods Devour Themselves: A Collaboration between Rev Left, PoliTreks, and the authors of Methods Devour Themselves
🕑 Added 2018-12-08 02:12:18 +0000 UTC Do you like political philosophy? Do you like science fiction and fantasy? Do you like breaking down the artificial cultural and intellectual barriers between the two? Then we have a treat for you! This episode is a totally novel collaboration between our show, PoliTreks (a podcast which combines Trekky Fandom with cultural and political analysis), Benjanun Sriduangkaew and J-Moufawad Paul (co-authors of Methods Devour Themselves). DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK: "Methods Devour Themselves is a dialogue between fiction and non-fiction. Inspired by Quentin Meillassoux's Science Fiction and Extro-Science Fiction that was paired with an Isaac Asimov short story, this book examines the ways in which stories can provoke philosophical interventions and philosophical essays can provoke stories. Alternating between Benjanun Sriduangkaew's fiction and J. Moufawad-Paul's non-fiction, Methods Devour Themselves is an interstitial project that brings fiction and essay into a unique, avant-garde whole."

Really great! Ordered Methods Devour Themselves and Hard to be a God (the Soviet sci fi JMP mentioned) while listening, looking forward to reading both :) Second the recommendation of Iain M. Banks' Culture series as fun and interesting sci fi for commies - would also recommend Octavia Butler, Kim Stanley Robinson, Ursula Le Guin, and Ann Leckie
