S2E17: Science Fiction in Video Games – A Reader's History of Science Fiction
In this episode, I bring back my cohost Greg for a conversion about how science fiction has shaped video games, and vice versa. Classic game recommendation: Chrono Trigger
Techno-thrillers are a surprisingly fuzzy category that sits at the border of sci-fi and suspense. In this episode, I give an overview of the subgenre and the different ways it can be classified.
Book recommendation: Delta-v by Daniel Suarez
