Podcast appearances and mentions of Ian M Banks

I'm back!! I share some of the stressors I've had and much of the stories I've been reading these past few weeks. These stories include (roughly in order of discussion): Consider Phlebas by Ian M. Banks, The Long Earth series by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter, House of Suns by Alistair Reynolds, and the webfiction Ar'Kendrithyst by Arcs.And I forgot to talk about A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys... which is a shame because it was my favorite novel of the lot! Definitely have to get into it in the next episode.

Discover the intricacies of epic narratives as we unravel the layers of literature and cinema that captivated us this February. Together, we wander through the narrative intricacies of "The Spear Cuts Through Water," debate the merits of magical realism, and revisit the rich textures of "Malazan Book of the Fallen" and "Dune." We also contrast the investment in history books with their fictional counterparts and share our recent journey into the realm of film, seeking a refreshing complement to our reading adventures.Horror takes the spotlight where we uncover the genre's varied offerings, from Mariana Enriquez's chilling tales to the allegorical depth of Stephen King's works. We dissect the often-overlooked literary quality present in genre series and standalones, like those from Ian M. Banks and Ursula K. Le Guin, pondering the bias that sometimes shadows speculative fiction. The conversation then shifts to the challenges avid readers face when presented with distinctive storytelling methods, including those found in 'House of Leaves,' and the genre expectations that shape the fantasy landscape.Rounding off our chat, we dive into the thematic richness of "Truth of Crowns" and the intrigue surrounding Jeff VanderMeer's trilogy. As we venture into the chilling domain of horror films, we examine the psychological impact of movies that linger, such as "Hereditary," and offer recommendations for those new to the genre. Finally, we express our thoughts on overlooked performances in horror cinema, openly discussing the industry's recognition shortcomings. Join us on the Page Chewing forum to continue the dialogue, and immerse yourself in this month's compelling fusion of page and screen.PageChewing.comPAGECHEWING: Comics & Manga PodcastFilm Chewing PodcastBuy me a coffeeLinktreeLogo by The GlimmerTwin Art HouseJoin Riverside.fm

"A Few Notes on the Culture" is an essay by Iain M. Banks describing elements of the universe of the Culture series. Most topics pertain to the culture, society, and technology of the Culture. The cosmology of the universe is also described.I'd describe the Culture stories as being about a post-scarcity, post-capitalist, post-work, anarchist, socialist utopia, managed by benevolent superintelligent AI. The Culture novels explore what such a society might look like, and how people might live their lives in such an environment. They also explore how such a society would interact with less advanced civilizations, and the moral and philosophical implications of that interaction. -Pi, Inflection.AI
