Support, Socials, Website, and everything ATT here: https://linktr.ee/alientheoristspodcastOn September 23, 1980, UFO investigator Leonard Stringfield received a letter that claimed to be from a former military security guard who had witnessed a series of events that sounded like they had come straight out of a science-fiction double feature. Under the pseudonym James Morse, the author of the letter would begin a years long correspondence with Stringfield, that culminated in alleged documentation of military service members coming into direct and violent contact with an extraterrestrial. Morse claimed to have witnessed the final minutes of an unidentifiable creature that had reportedly been shot by security personnel on the grounds of Fort Dix in New Jersey. Morse's claims would fall in line with a book released in 2019 by a military intelligence officer who claimed to have been stationed on that same base and said they had interviewed a number of personnel who were involved in the events of Jan 18, 1978.

This week, the boys tackle Ridley Scott's newest thought provoking historical epic "The Last Duel" with their usual elegance. Also discussed is Orson Scott Card's Sci-fi classic "Ender's Game" and assorted Star Wars and Comic Book news topics. 

Mick Jeffrey (Aversions Crown). Following up the rather excellent Xenocide ('17) was never going to be easy, so guitarist Mick Jeffrey joins me to discuss Hell Will Come For Us All , the brand new long player from the lads for 2020.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Orson Scott Card, whose latest novel is Lost And Found to be released tomorrow by Blackstone. Mr. Card needs no introduction but as is my wont, I will give one anyway. Nobody had won the Hugo and Nebula awards for two novels two years ago until Orson did. For Ender’s Game and Speaker For The Dead and the third of the Enders book Xenocide was just as good as the others and I read each the day that they were released. And of course Ender didn’t end there. And so many other books, including the Homecoming Saga and The Tales of Alvin Maker Lost And Found is a bit of a departure, at least to me, from the other books that I have read by Orson. Ezekiel, (not Zeke) Bliss or Blast (as he prefers) is not a thief. But he finds any number of things and knows who belongs to those things. His good friend (and good in many senses) is Beth, who as Ezekiel does—-has a micro power, and we all may have micro powers. He has friends who also have varied micro-powers. Not X-men powers, but powers that at first blush seem to be parodies of powers. As we read on, we realize that those tiny powers can make the earth move, can solve crimes, can bring people together. The book appeals to kids and adults alike as do many of Orson’s work and I mean that as a high compliment. This book has a great sense of humor, of imagination and intrigue. I loved it and it will be displayed in a special place in my bookstore.

Xenocide is the third installment of the Ender series. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequeninos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. But Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus which kills all humans it infects, but which the pequeninos require in order to transform into adults. The Starways Congress so fears the effect of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that they have ordered the destruction of the entire planet and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way and a second Xenocide seems inevitable, until the Fleet vanishes.

The Fleet is on its way and a second Xenocide seems inevitable, until the Fleet vanishes.

In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: the Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War. Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered by Portuguese colonists on the planet Lusitania. But again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery...and the truth. Orson Scott Card infuses this tale with intellect by casting his characters in social, religious, and cultural contexts. This, the author's definitive edition of the sequel to Ender's Game, also includes an original postscript written and recorded by the author himself, Orson Scott Card!.

Shownotes – Avsnitt 148 Ser shownotes konstiga ut så finns det här också. Spelades in söndagen den 7 januari samtidigt som att solen skapade en otroligt vacker solnedgång i Stockholm. Detta är avsnitt 148, och eftersom att 148 även kallas för Dunbars nummer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number) så handlar detta avsnitt om; Vad vi gjort under julen (Björn har läst böcker och tittat på Dr Who, Johan har tittat på TV-serierna The Defenders och Lucifer, Mats har spelat och tipsar om säsong 2 av Dirk Gentlys Holistic detective agency och spelet Blood Bowl 2, Björn vill ha VR men ändå inte, vi minns 2017, Spectre och Meltdown, att USA tittar på telefoner och datorer när man reser in, att nån har stulit en del av en väg i Kina, att nästa vecka är det CES, om riktigt trådlös laddning, om Apple och ”batteri-gate”, vilka saker som Apple borde göra under 2018, att GDPR gör att det finns företag som inte längre vill göra affärer i Europa, hur facebook kommer ändra regler kring klickbait och johans tankar kring sin nya OnePlus 5T. Sedan så tar vi självklart och avslutar med lite pryllista. Fördjupningslänkar- Björns jul:     - BOK: "Weapons of Math Destruction" av Cathy O'neil om hur man Machine Learning kan användas på fel sätt.     - BOK: "Blink: the power of thinking without Thinking" av Malcolm Gladwell som handlar om intuition, vilket faktiskt påminner rätt mycket om just boken innan.     - BOK: "Sources of Power: How People make Decisions" av Gary A. Klein. Handlar också om hjärnan och när man läser den så ser man även där kopplingarna mot Machine Learning (eller i neurala nätverk).     - BOKSERIE: Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind av Orson Scott Card     - TV-SERIE: Doctor Who - Johan     - TV-SERIE: The Defenders     - TV-SERIE: Lucier - Mats     - TV-SERIE: Dirk Gently´s Holistic Detective Agency     - SPEL: Blood Bowl 2 - Björn vill nästan ha VR men inte - Vad minns vi från 2017     - Säkerhetshål      - BONUSLÄNK: http://breachlevelindex.com/      - Lite mer: https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/01/10-worst-tech-stories-of-2017-from-equifax-to-net-neutrality-to-that-awful-sam-altman-post/ - Spectre och Meltdown     - info länk 1     - info länk 2     - BONUSLÄNK: https://stratechery.com/2018/meltdown-spectre-and-the-state-of-technology/ - USA tittar de i telefoner och datorer - I kina har man stulit en del av en väg - Nästa vecka är det CES - Trådlös ladding på riktigt - Apple och batterigate     - Länk 1     - Länk 2 - 10 saker som apple borde fixa under 2018 - Det finns företag som väljer att sluta göra affärer i europa på grund av GDPR - Facebook och klickbait     - Länk 1     - Länk 2Pryllistan- Johan: Ett runt klot i hallen för att styra sina lampor - Björn: Har fått allt han vill ha - Mats: En ny kontorsstol

Brutal carnage! Xenocide! Giant concrete monster Gods! And of course, snake demons!  What do Malcolm and I think of Matt's pick from the Warhammer 40k universe, the novel Fulgrim by Graham McNeill? Listen to find out, you may be surprised. Hint, there's way less angry shouting than the last time Matt picked a book, and ultimately peace reigns supreme (unlike in the book.)

Dickie Copeland returns to chat about the expansive universe encompassing the novel Ender's Game and all of its sequels and related works, about which there are many spoilers so consider yourself warned! Though Dickie and Jen came to the series from different perspectives, they're fascinated by, fuzzy on, and horrified at the same bits, and both at least masochistic enough to wish they could play the Mind Game. But don't ask them how to pronounce Bonzo or Achilles, because they know they say them both wrong. If you're enjoying PrePopCulture, please rate/review it on iTunes, and like it on Facebook!
