But is the Daemon to blame, or corporations? What if the Daemon is here to save us and help bring forth a new world where people, not businesses, decide our fate? Find out in this month’s book, Freedom (TM) by Daniel Suarez.

    Ep 78 - Daemon

    Artificial Intelligence is all the rage right now causing people to question its use and how it will effect society. But what if it didn’t take AI to bring down the world we know, what if all it took was a really complex decision tree programmed by a genius and set out upon the world after his death? This month we take a look at the first in a two part series where it happens and even though people die, fortunes are lost and countries could fall, we have to ask, is that a bad thing? Find out in this month’s book, Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

    Ep 76 - How to Do Nothing

    Social media, grind culture, modern life is a series one thing after another always seeming to speed up and never slow down. But more and more people are pushing back and taking back time for themselves. While the title and synopsis for How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell seems to be about that very subject, is it really? This month we discuss How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell and what we feel the book is about.

    Ep 74 - Earthside

    Earth, our Earth at least, continues to fall into chaos. But over in Outland, everything is great. Well, good. Well, ok. Things are going in the dumpster as well. Kevin and Bill continue to find new worlds but most aren’t any place you would want to vacation on. The colony keeps finding more survivors which means more mouths to feed. Monica and B keep running into locals who don’t want to pull their weight or overthrow the colony. So just another day of life in Earthside by Dennis E. Taylor
