On Episode 24 of The Carousel Podcast, I’m joined by sci-fi anon author T.R. Hudson to talk about his awesome book Automaton.
The book follows a lapsed super-soldier traveling across a post-apocalyptic America divided east versus west, libertarian corporate versus woke neoliberal. The protagonist has been stuck in an eternally “on” position, which makes him emotionless but powerful—which I took as a metaphor for autism.
I highly recommend this book. It makes for a fascinating, exciting, and even indulgent holiday read. A real page turner!
