Show Notes
This week the dream team reads The Three-Body Problem, a book that asks the important question: What happens when you combine trauma and nihilism with intergalactic phone tag?
Sarah, Tommy, Rick, and Andrew nerd out over solar amplification, broken physics, space-age VR, and the dick-measuring contest that is billionaire space travel. This episode is truly a chaotic era.
And Rick finally asks the rest of the team a question that he’s been stewing over for the entire history of Pagenerd. It’s not what you think it is.
This one is big, weird, philosophical science fiction with ideas that will stick in your brain long after you finish it.
Come wander into the dark forest with us.
More from Pagenerd
It’s officially spooky season at Pagenerd, so we’re kicking off the creepiness with Stephen King’s first weird book about teenage girls: Carrie!
She’s really here. Our Queen Emily St John Mandel joins Sarah and Tommy for a chat about her brilliant new novel Exit Party, writing, America, and the low thrum of existential dread we live with day to day.
We are back with Our Queen Emily St. John Mandel, and her incredible new American dystopian novel, Exit Party, that asks: What happens if gestures around we keep this shit up?
Don’t listen to this podcast, or we will conquer you. The Pagenerds are back with part two of The Three Body Problem, and things are about to get chaotic, not just mathematically.
Just like we love public libraries, we pagenerds also love public broadcasting. So we want to introduce you to a show by some podcast friends of ours over at the CBC: Bookends, with Mattea Roach. If you like Pagenerd we think you'll enjoy this episode so we're sharing it in our feed for you to enjoy.
