Darkly Funny, Worryingly Real : QualityLand | S03 E10

We wrap up Season 3 with special guest Luisa and a wild ride through Marc-Uwe Kling’s QualityLand. From rogue AIs to political satire—and yes, unexpected pink dolphin vibrators—we unpack this sharp, strange, and bitingly funny dystopia where algorithms know you better than you know yourself.Episode Timepoints:00:00 - Intro01:00 - Introduction to Luisa03:45 - An Introduction to the Author07:30 - The Blurb08:55 - A Discussion of QualityLand12:52 - Slightly belated spoiler warning.01:25:00 - The Book We Will Be Discussing Next Time01:26:57 - OutroOther Books Mentioned in This Episode:QualityLand by Marc-Uwe KlingDie Kaenguru-Chroniken by Marc-Uwe KlingKafkaThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas AdamsAnna Karenina by Leo TolstoyOther media mentioned:Star WarsMonty PythonBlack MirrorBridgertonLinks:Marc-Uwe Kling on GoodreadsReading Materials on GoodreadsLucia on GoodreadsCorrie on GoodreadsReading Materials on Instagram (run by Lucia with minimal input from Corrie!!)Thank you for listening!
