Rebellious MPs, a nightmare spending review, the endless Two Child Benefit Cap row, dire polling… is Labour in for a summer of discontent? We ask whether the Government can bend with the wind to succeed, what policies will change, and whether Starmer/Reeves is a double act with two straight men? Plus: Have researchers found a new way to deal with digital disinformation? And in a special bonus, Jonn and Andrew discuss why the best political drama of the decade so far is the Star Wars spin-off Andor. • Don't miss Oh God, What Now?

Today on the 5: The book selection for the next TWiT book club event is The Word For World Is Forest by a giant of science fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin. I recrently finished reading the book in prep for that event, and it was pretty good!
Send us a textHolly and Marty get together with their friend Susan MacKinnon to discuss the science fiction of Ursula K. LeGuin, literary icon of speculative fiction. We talk about her Hugo and Nebula winning books "The Left Hand of Darkness" and "The Dispossessed", which are among the most celebrated classics in science fiction. The first was a pioneering book about the impact of gender on civilization, describing an ambisexual society. The second is about anarchism as an ambiguous utopia in the context of capitalism, and describes some very deep and beautiful ideas about time and the foundations of physics. We also talk about LeGuin's short story "Those Who Walk Away From Omelas", a lasting parable about those whose suffering supports our society and how we confront or submit to that reality. We also chat about higher education, feminism, dresses with huge pockets and a some of the other books we're reading.Email: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/
Another week, another as-rapid-as-we-dare readthrough of the Changeling: the Lost 1st edition corebook. This time, we're having a look at Chapters Three and Four. "But Pooka and Fetch," you might say, "this was supposed to be a two-part series, not a trilogy. How could you spend just under two hours talking about two measly chapters?" Well, when those two chapters clock in at ~120 pages with small text, little art, and extensive detail on both the intricate bespoke systems of the game and how to run the damn thing... as you'll discover, we had plenty to talk about. Still, we hope that the brisk clip of our discussion and the occasional wisecrack will help keep you engaged. (And seriously, there's only one more episode left for this book before we put it down, if not for good, at least for a breather.) As indicated previously, the 1e corebook is available for purchase at https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/50010?affiliate_id=3063731.

Amelia Fetch (she/her) sells jewelry made of seashells and mysteries at the goblin market for the low low price of only three soul fragments! This was the way he had to go; he had no choice. He had never had any choice. He was only a dreamer. —Ursula K. LeGuin, The Lathe of Heaven
On this episode of TFTB we discuss The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin. First published in 1969 this book was far ahead of its time, and still stands up as excellent progressive science fiction. If you haven't had the pleasure of enjoying this one, we highly recommend that you add it to your summer reading list. As usual we have a cool Science Fiction-Science Fact for you, and we'll also chat a bit about what else we've been reading and watching.

Eden and Langdon both exist (maybe) and with this snippet of existence, they discuss the historiography of the Paris Commune on the left and suggest a proper position (empathy) towards its hopes and failures. Then, they discuss the beautiful and problematic "Five Ways to Forgiveness" by Ursula K. Le Guin, a short story suite about slavery, feminism, war and Hain.

"Y luego lo horrible. No me resulta fácil contarlo. Me entran ganas de llorar cuando tengo que recordarlo. Nuestra hija más pequeña, mi bebé, le dio la espalda a su padre. De la noche a la mañana. Él entró y ella se asustó, rígida, con los ojos muy abiertos, y luego comenzó a llorar y a tratar de esconderse detrás de mí. Todavía no hablaba con claridad, pero decía una y otra vez: ¡Haz que desaparezca! ¡Haz que se vaya!". Teníamos muchas ganas de abordar uno de los relatos cortos de la magnífica Ursula K. Le Guin (1929-2018). En este episodio de LA CAJA MISTERIOSA os contamos "El cuento de la esposa".

It's a bit surprising to hear a writer known for building worlds that incorporate deep historical research and elaborate technological details extol the virtues of play, but Ken Liu tells critic Rose Casey and host Sarah Wasserman that if “your idea of heaven doesn't include play, then I'm not sure it's a heaven people want to go to.” It turns out that Ken—acclaimed translator and author of the “silkpunk” epic fantasy series Dandelion Dynasty and the award-winning short story collection The Paper Menagerie—is deeply serious about play. Speaking about play as the key to technological progress, Ken and Rose discuss the importance of whimsy and the inextricable relationship between imagination and usefulness. For Ken, whose Dandelion Dynasty makes heroes of engineers instead of wizards or knights, precise machinery and innovative gadgets are born, like novels, of imagination. Ken himself might be best described as a meticulous, dedicated tinkerer—a writer playing with the materials and stories of the past to help us encounter new worlds in the present. So even if trying to explain his craft is “like asking fish how they swim,” Ken jumps in and discusses how he writes at such different lengths (hint: the longer the book, the more elephantine) and what he makes of different genre labels, from fantasy to historical fiction. We also learn why Ken is a fan of Brat Summer and still thinking about the Roman Empire.

Au 16ème siècle, Giordano Bruno, un frère dominicain italien, réussit à imaginer ce qui alors était inimaginable : la cosmologie infinitiste. Sans l'observer par des outils, par la seule force de son imagination. L'inquisition l'arrêtera et le condamnera pour hérésie. Il sera brulé au bucher. Aujourd'hui, tout nous pousse à ne plus imaginer. Les images qui abondent et nous écrasent, le quotidien incessant, les nouvelles technologies aussi… Pourtant, à travers l'histoire, ils et elles sont nombreux et nombreuses à avoir cru de toute leur force à l'imagination et à ses multiples bienfaits. Ursula K Le Guin, Tolkien, Robert Desnos, les sœurs Brontë, Vigrinia Woolf,… Alors, comment et pourquoi retrouver les chemins de l'imagination ? Nous recevons Laura El Makki, enseignante à Sciences Po et journaliste, autrice du livre « Petit éloge de l'imagination » paru aux Editions Les Pérégrines. Une séquence de Jonathan Rémy. Sujets traités : Eloge, imagination, Giordano Bruno, cosmologie, Italie, hérésie, Ursula K Le Guin, Tolkien, Robert Desnos,sœurs Brontë, Vigrinia Woolf Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

In this episode, host KMO speaks with Kevin, co-host of the podcast and Substack publication "Synthesize Sunsets," which explores speculative fiction and the evolution of popular culture in the age of AI and algorithms.Key Discussion Points:17776 by John Boyce: Kevin discusses this multimedia science fiction narrative and how it represents a missed opportunity for innovation in digital storytelling formats.Decades losing their distinctiveness: The conversation explores how time periods had unique visual and cultural identities in the 20th century, while the 21st century has seen a flattening of aesthetic differences between decades.Publishing industry consolidation: They discuss how the consolidation of publishing houses has led to less diversity in science fiction and contributed to the growth of romance-focused fantasy at the expense of traditional science fiction.Science fiction authors and works: The pair share their perspectives on influential authors including Gene Wolfe's "Book of the New Sun," Ursula K. Le Guin, N.K. Jemisin's "Broken Earth" trilogy, Ted Chiang, Iain M. Banks, and Cixin Liu.Christianity and literature: How religious literacy impacts readers' ability to engage with certain works, particularly Gene Wolfe's writing which contains subtle Christian themes.Political perspectives in fiction: The challenges of creating politically engaged fiction that doesn't feel didactic, using examples like Banks' "Culture" series and contemporary works.Media and intellectual diversity: Kevin expresses hope for greater intellectual diversity in media and publishing, noting that Chinese sci-fi author Cixin Liu represents a genuinely different cultural perspective.
Pourquoi la science-fiction coréenne a du mal à s'imposer à l'international ? Découvrez notre analyse avec la spécialiste du cinéma CeliaatParis. Celia est programmatrice, critique cinéma, rédactrice en cheffe de www.cinemacoreen.fr & Directrice du jeune Festival des Sortilèges.Mais où est la science-fiction coréenne ? Le cinéma et la pop culture sud-coréenne sont devenus une quinzaine d'années très populaire. Entre la K-Pop, les polars coréens, les séries coréennes, le pays du Matin frais a réussi à faire comme le Japon dans les années 80 et 90. Elle impose son soft Power à une jeunesse occidentale qui répond de plus en plus présente. Cependant une question demeure ; pourquoi la science-fiction sud-coréenne n'arrive pas à s'imposer à l'inverse de la science-fiction chinoise et de la science-fiction japonaise ? Seul le réalisateur Bong Joon-ho arrive à exporter sa science-fiction en faisant un habile mélange entre la culture sud-coréenne et le cinéma de science-fiction américain. Pour rappel la SF émerge au début du XXIe siècle. Elle débute avec les premières traductions issues de Jules Vernes et HG. Wells. Elle ne se développe pas par le biais de la littérature pour différentes raisons comme les différentes guerres que va traverser la Corée. Elle va renaitre dans les années 80 grâce à la démocratisation du pays qui va traduire des classiques qui n'ont jamais été publiés comme Isaac Asimov ou Ursula K. Leguin. La librairie Phénix a d'ailleurs fait un dossier très intéressant sur le sujet : https://www.librairielephenix.fr/post/5095/la-science-fiction-en-coree-son-histoire-et-son-evolutionLes films cités dans ce podcast : Resurrection of the Little Match Girl, Wonderful Days, Snowpiercer, Jung E, Alienoïd 1&2.

La casa editrice Mondadori sta ripubblicando tutte le opere della scrittrice di fantascienza statunitense Ursula K. Leguin, un'autrice dal lucido pensiero femminista e anticapitalista. Autoritratto è uno spettacolo teatrale dello scrittore e drammaturgo Davide Enia che esplora l'impatto emotivo e culturale che la mafia ha sulla Sicilia. Alla Fondazione Ica di Milano una mostra mette a confronto il lavoro di un'artista e stilista italiana, Cinzia Ruggeri, con quello di una body artist e fotografa austriaca, Birgit Jürgenssen. Deena Mohamed è una fumettista egiziana ed è l'autrice del graphic novel Shubbek Lubbek, una sorta di fiaba che diventa una satira della società egiziana contemporanea.

Ursula K. Le Guin war eine der wichtigsten Science-Fiction-Autorinnen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Mit dem Kapitalismus wollte sie sich nicht abfinden, deshalb entwarf sie andere Welten, in denen Menschen nicht dermaßen beherrscht werden. In „Freie Geister“ oder auch „Planet der Habenichtse“ („The Dispossessed“) ist der herausragende Physiker Shevek auf der Suche nach einer Lebensweise, in der er seine theoretischen Ambitionen verfolgen kann und zugleich Menschen kooperativ miteinander umgehen. Während auf Urras ein recht autoritärer, aber immensen Reichtum produzierender Kapitalismus vorherrscht, haben sich auf dem unwirtlichen Mond Anarres die Anarchisten daran gemacht, eine alternative Gesellschaft zu entwickeln. Freiheit von Herrschaft ist das Ideal. Das Individuum ist hier schon aufgrund natürlichen Ressourcenmangels dazu gezwungen, sich immer wieder dem Kollektiv unterzuordnen. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“-Literatur sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über den außergewöhnlichen Science-Fiction-Roman.

Today we've got something special—two deep dives into the world of magic and role-playing! We sit down with Douglas Rushkoff—media theorist, writer, and host of the Team Human podcast—to explore how RPGs, especially Mage: The Ascension, serve as tools for reality manipulation and self-discovery.

Then, we chat with Richard Metzger, lifelong explorer of the occult and host of the Magic Show.

REAL LIFE Devon: We celebrated Nolan's Mario-themed birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's, and it was pure Mario madness—even down to LEGO sets! At home, we dove into the SNES Classic, revisiting classics like Super Mario World and Mario Kart. Speaking of Mario Kart, Ben has a lot of thoughts about kart racing games. Oh, and let's not forget Super Metroid made a cameo in our gaming nostalgia. Steven: Exciting news! We're now on YouTube! Check out The Science Faction Podcast for all our latest episodes and content. Also, Steven got his hands on the 5-disc Complete Collector's Edition of Blade Runner. Talk about sci-fi collector goals! Ben: Ben's been under the weather—boo! But that meant more movie time—yay! He's here to defend rewatching so-called "terrible" films like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But hey, the Indiana Jones videogame nails the adventure vibe. Steven couldn't agree more—there's nothing better than punching Nazis! Also, fun fact: The Matrix reused sets from Dark City, which Roger Ebert loved so much he even recorded commentary tracks for it. And yes, both Ben and Devon admit to falling asleep during The Phantom Menace... in theaters. Oops! FUTURE OR NOW Ben: "The Buddhists Know How to Party" might sound like an odd statement, but Ben dives into the Five Remembrances of the Buddha, a reflection on aging, illness, and impermanence. It really got Devon thinking about Stoicism. Curious? You can read them here: I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old. I am of the nature to have ill-health. There is no way to escape having ill-health. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand. Steven: Steven brings up a serious topic: the insurance crisis in California. State Farm is pulling out of the state due to restrictions on raising rates, leaving them unable to cover major disasters like the LA fires. They currently have about $3 billion, but with an estimated $4 billion needed for payouts, this gap could lead to insolvency. Who's at fault—the state for blocking rate hikes or the companies for not adjusting sooner? Steven urges us not to "Luigi the wrong people" in this situation. BOOK CLUB This Week: We took a deep dive into Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" from The Wind's Twelve Quarters. You can read it here. Ben found it "super fascinating," while Devon unpacked its core themes: a utopia sustained by the suffering of one child and the moral quandary of staying or walking away. Ben summed it up with, "The terror of not knowing keeps people away." Also, Devon joked that Omelas could just be Salem spelled backward—thanks, Oregon road signs! Devon also mused, "Ethics cannot be logically discerned." Next Week: Get ready for Philip K. Dick's "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" (1966). Here's a PDF. And no, Devon—you can't just watch Total Recall instead!

La atmósfera del relato escrito en el año 1967 y narrado en primera persona es bastante intensa desde un primer momento. El oyente puede experimentar un intenso malestar ante la insistencia de la protagonista de hablar con el Sr. Morrison, como si algo realmente no anduviese bien. Reestrenamos Sexo y/o el Sr. Morrison con sonido mejorado. Sin duda tiene unas extrañas afectaciones por el Sr. Morrison que se acentúan cuando decide allanar la morada de este. Para más inri cuando el Sr. Morrison vuelve a su apartamento ella se esconde allí para verlo hacer...sus cosas de solterón. Y todo esto contado con un tono bastante neutro, como si fuera lo más normal del mundo oler camisas usadas y comer queso bajo un escritorio. En varias ocasiones hace pensar en que tenemos un narrador no fiable, pero luego sucede que la autora Carol Emshwiller le da la vuelta al relato y todo lo que teníamos preconcebido se viene abajo, desencadenando un sentimiento de repulsa y horror aún mayor que ver a una criatura obsesionándose de tal forma con el vecino de arriba. Hay una mezcla de ciencia ficción, terror y fantasía... La narradora experimenta hacia el esquivo Morrison una fascinación creciente, y esta fascinación muy pronto deja el terreno de lo previsible: Deténganse a pensar sólo una cosa. Hay solamente dos sexos y cada uno de nosotros pertenece a uno de ellos, y sin duda —o al menos es lo más probable— cada uno sabe algo acerca del otro. Pero pudo ser ahí en donde yo cometí mi error: ¿nunca han pensado ustedes...? Bueno, eso que yo comencé a pensar: ‘Ha de haber Otros entre nosotros’”. La narradora se dedica, pues, a encontrar el rastro de los Otros, es decir de aquellos que viven escondidos o camuflados, precisamente porque no son ni hombres ni mujeres y tampoco lo que eufemísticamente se llama “tercer sexo”, porque esto, en última instancia, sólo se entiende como una combinatoria de los otros dos sexos/géneros (ya el mero hecho de llamarlo “tercero” es confirmar la regla de los “dos” y mantenerla precisamente como paradigma, ley binaria, mandato divino, dogma, estereotipo, etcétera). La narradora de este cuento sospecha, pues, que el señor Morrison no es uno de los “Normales” sino precisamente uno de esos silenciosos y obliterados “Otros”, un ser radicalmente distinto, humano pero otro, y cuya sola presencia (e incluso la mera hipótesis, la sospecha imaginativa) arroja una luz violenta sobre la exclusividad de los “dos” (la “exacta modularidad” queda cuestionada por un elemento supernumerario en la ecuación). Dispuesta a jugarse el todo por el todo, la narradora se oculta en el apartamento de Morrison (ella es pequeña y delgada) y lo espera durante lo que parece una eternidad. Finalmente el individuo llega y pasado un rato se desnuda de espaldas a su trémula contempladora.... Juzguen ustedes mismos.... Carol Emshwiller ( 12 de abril de 1921) nació Agnes Carolyn Fries en Ann Arbor, Michigan, la mayor de los cuatro hijos de Charles y Agnes (Carswell) Fries. Al crecer, pasó varios años en Francia y Alemania mientras su padre, profesor de inglés y lingüística, estaba de año sabático. Se graduó de la Universidad de Michigan con una licenciatura en música en 1945, se unió a la Cruz Roja, ayudando a las tropas estadounidenses en la Italia de la posguerra, luego regresó a Ann Arbor para la escuela de arte. Se casó con su compañero estudiante de arte Ed Emshwiller en 1949. Juntos, asistieron a la Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts (1949-1950), recorrieron Europa en una motocicleta y finalmente se establecieron en Levittown, Nueva York, donde tuvieron tres hijos, en 1955, 1957 y 1959. Emshwiller comenzó a publicar ciencia ficción a mediados de la década de 1950, después de que su esposo le presentara a personas clave dentro del género, quien se convirtió en uno de los principales artistas del género de la época. En 1974, Emshwiller se convirtió en profesora asistente adjunta en la Universidad de Nueva York y publicó su primera colección de cuentos, Joy in Our Cause . Ella ha seguido publicando casi sin parar desde entonces. Sus novelas incluyen Carmen Dog (1998), The Mount (2002), Mister Boots (2005) y The Secret City.(2007). La también autora de ciencia ficción Ursula K. Le Guin la elogió como una "fabulista importante, una maravillosa realista mágica, una de las voces feministas más fuertes, complejas y consistentes en la ficción"; hasta la fecha, Emshwiller ha ganado un premio World Fantasy, un premio Philip K. Dick, dos premios Nebula y un premio World Fantasy por su trayectoria (en 2005). Desde la muerte de su esposo en 1990, ha dividido su tiempo entre la ciudad de Nueva York y Owens Valley, California. Falleció a la edad de 97 años el día 2 de febrero de 2019. ¡Únete a la nave de Historias para ser Leídas y conviértete en uno de nuestros taberneros galácticos por solo 1,49 € al mes!

This lecture discusses the essay by the science fiction and fantasy author, Ursula K. Leguin, "About Anger, found in her book No Time To Spare: Thinking About What Matters. It discusses Leguin's reflections on the conditions in which anger can be a useful emotion in public, political, and private life, and on the dangers of treating anger uncritically as if it is always something good for dealing with injustice, abuse, exploitation, and threats. Leguin contrasts the early years of second-wave feminism and activism for gender justice and women's rights against the present time, in which anger isn't as useful a response. She also discusses anger's interrelation with other emotions such as jealousy, hatred, fear, and pain.

Long time friend of the podcast Joe Monti, who was recently promoted to Vice President, Associate Publisher, and Editorial Director at Saga Press, and is now officially a "Big Cheese', stops by for a wide-ranging chat about the impact of the pandemic and other events on the affordability of books; trends in recent science fiction, fantasy and horror and why science fiction may be set for something of a comeback; the influence (or lack thereof) of awards on book sales; and touches on authors ranging from Cixin Liu and N.K. Jemisin to William Gibson and Ursula K. Le Guin. As always, Joe's broad experience as publisher, agent, and bookseller provides some unique insights as to what's going on and we think makes for fascinating listening as we move towards the end of the year.

Working out the answers to these two questions guides the process of thinking out how to address the situation with Alder's dreams and the aggressiveness of the dragons To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO You can find over 3,000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase The Other Wind - https://amzn.to/3A5qYBs

JEAN CAMPBELL is a supermodel who from the outside looks to be living a fairy tale life. Stunningly beautiful, she has modeled on the international stage for brands including Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton and Burberry. Of course, nothing is ever so simple (especially in fairy tales). After experiencing a traumatic injury at a young age, Jean had to learn how to live with chronic pain. She underwent multiple surgeries, and confronted despair induced by the extreme physical and emotional challenges she faced. Shadowland is our This Jungian Life forum for exploring the lives of people who exist in the hidden places of our culture. Life with chronic pain is one of those hidden places: for many it is characterized by loneliness and fear. At home and at work, people with chronic pain conditions are often asked to mask the reality of what they're experiencing. In this episode, Lisa and Deb explore the gulf Jean experienced between persona and shadow. In private, Jean searched for ways to cope with physical pain and suffering, whilst in public she built a successful career based on her exceptional physical beauty. According to Jean, embracing and befriending pain has been key in her path to healing. This is explored through a discussion of A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, in which the protagonist, Ged, must confront and befriend his shadow: “Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky” (A Wizard of Earthsea).
