"The Precedent" by Sean McCullen - 'Scholastic Readings' [Ep. 5]

In this episode I briefly explore some themes of a 'cli-fi' short story by Sean McCullen - "The Precedent" from the collection 'Loosed Upon The World: The Saga Anthology of Climate Fiction' (2015), edited by John Joseph Adams.
There are no plot spoilers. So, you can feel safe in watching this video before reading the text.
If you are a student studying the text for a class, please note that all these short literature videos represent my interpretations or feelings, which you are free to either 'take' or 'leave'.
These are also collages of various art works: films, pictures, music, plus my own bits and pieces (such as the script).
The video includes a segment of a lecture by Alan Watts called 'On Being God' as well as paintings by David Thorpe.

Doh! As usual, I spotted a silly mistake after uploading the video: I wrote 'Dantean' wrongly in the subtitles. Oh well.
