Episode notes

Sasha from the first book is a side character in this one. Some of the main some of the characters from the record music entertainment world of goon squad crop up in the big see below email chapter. Lulu just trying to track down her dad who's a famous movie star that doesn't know that he's her dad. All these other people have to get roped in including Lulu's mom who was part of the dictator movie and the producers of a documentary about that whole experience.

It only took 500-or-so episodes to revisit the world of Egan's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad. We did, of course, have to wait for Egan to write her sequel (sort of) novel. This follow-up to a post-postmodern classic is focused on memories (digital and otherwise) and relationships (virtual and otherwise). It's got "what if the Meta but for everyone's memories" okay??

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
