My Internet Has Stopped Working
by Justin William Marquis
We are the Podcasters of the Apocalypse, a band of literary wayfarers and in My Internet Has Stopped Working we delve into the dusty corners of forgotten libraries unearthing lost treasures and arcane lore. Science fiction epics whispered of in forgotten tongues. Fantastical journeys hidden in the shadows of bestsellers. Forget the well-trodden paths of Arrakis, Pandora and The Matrix. We seek the undiscovered country in mysterious tales that will leave you muttering, "Why haven't I heard of this?"
