Laugh It Up Fuzzballs (Ep. 225) - Brave New Worlds - Wookiee & Dan Talk Dystopia

2020 Year 1 continues… Welcome to the place where I get to let my geek flag fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This is where I look into the world of geekdom and some geek news, comics, The Simpsons, Star Wars, and whatever randomness finds its way onto the recording. This level of the podcast is based completely off the premise of Orwellian dystopia being too optimistic. It led to a real fun conversation with my buddy Dan about a side of my geek love I don’t chat enough about. It also feels prescient and poignant in today’s world. That said, here’s some of what we covered: The Forever War by Joe Haldeman Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein Old Man’s War by John Scalzi The Road by Cormac McCarthy Brave New World by Aldous Huxley 1984 by George Orwell East of West comic by Johnathan Hickman / Nick Draggota DMZ comic by Brian Wood / Riccardo Burchielli V for Vendetta by Alan Moore / David Lloyd / Tony Weare Congrats on completing Level 225 of the podcast!
