Nerd's Book Review: A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Hey there nerds! We're here reading our sub-etha meson reader, and this month it's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Grab your a big glass of gargle blaster and follow along as we discuss whether not it's parody, and whether or not it's worth your time.
But before you get into that, why not dig into our good friend's podcast, Za Bills? Shaun's been invited there a few times and we think they do great work!
Lastly, if you're looking for some gifts this holiday season, why not consider our new affiliation with Bookshop.org? We've curated a list of books that we've read and anything purchased from our link will also send 15% our way, which would go a long way towards things like our monthly hosting costs.

Nerds Book Review: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
มุมมอง 202 หลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome back as we return to form with a book review: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. It’s a multi-epoch book spanning the eras of Colonialism all the way through the glories of Neo So Copros with their fantastic clones serving you in the dinning hall, to the fall and eventual resurrection of human civilization in a Hawaiian colony. It’s not our normal vibe in that it’s less sci-fi and fantasy a...

You 3 are doing the Lords work with your content, please keep it up! I've been listening to you guys for a couple of months on podcast and only found out with this episode that you're on TH-cam so I thought I'd stop by, say hi, and let you know that you are all incorrect as the greatest 90s Sci fi show is obviously Farscape 😁 Keep up the good work!
Matthew - thanks for the kind words! Farscape was on my radar, but I never watched it as a kid, so I felt unprepared to discuss it. Love to have you in the conversation -- keep letting us know what you think!
I like how the first 6:44 minutes are about some random Bud-light level beverage. Peak hipster humor, not funny, really worth talking about in a REVIEW of The Silmarlllion. Congratulations I have finally found someone less funny than Stephen Colbert.
Well, well. If you don't know, now you know -- Rings of Power is worth it, so long as you've managed to avoid the internet spoilers!
