Episode notes

Yewen G is sent to a labor camp in Mongolia. She gets past this book about how humanity is killing the planet and how maybe we got a point. There's some connections between kind of humanity's war on nature and the inherent violence of something like the Cultural Revolution. It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, she says.

Secret societies, extraterrestrial cultures, VR games, HARD SCIENCE- Liu Cixin's award-winning novel has it all. It's also set against the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution, grounding the story not only in science but in history as well.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
