The Left Page - Episode 84 - The Scar: The Dangers of DIY Quantum Physics w/ Horror Vanguard

Hello everyone!! It's October and you know what that means! We drag the ghost, from their crypts (or ship) and have a good Halloween book chat! As Jon joined us for China Mieville's 2nd book of the Bas-Lag Trilogy: the Scar! It's a great time talking about the power and potential of class consciousness, the strange dynamics of cities, pirates, liberation, and the terrible risks of mishandling quantum and nuclear physics. It's Mieville, it's a fun book, and a phenomenal chat! Enjoy!
