  • Garden of Thought E. 335 Gods of a New World

    Garden of Thought E. 335 Gods of a New World
    Nov 19 2025
    We welcome in author Ryan Melsom for a wide ranging discussion centered on his newest techno thriller in the cyberpunk tradition.

    Set in the near future after the world we know collapsed and
    was rebuilt through new AI-powered technology, Gods of a
    New World is a a mind-bending cyberpunk thriller of rebellion
    and redemption.
    "I think we’re all wondering what the explosion of artificial
    intelligence means for the future of humanity, and that’s
    exactly what Gods of a New World explores,” says Melsom.
    “I’ve long been fascinated by the intersections among
    technology, society, and spirituality, so I feel like my interests
    were made for this moment.”
    “Gods of a New World is a fascinating exploration of an all-
    too-plausible future, and also a fast-paced adventure with an intriguing dose of metaphysical
    speculation,.

    The trillionaires were powerful enough to reshape the world, but it wasn’t enough. Now they
    want more . . .
    In a world where trillionaires assisted by powerful AIs call themselves gods, a world where
    miracles are engineered and secret technology is wired into the very air, James Kessler and
    Maree Shell stumble upon a conspiracy that defies possibility: the new gods’ plan to encode
    their consciousness into the world and seize control of reality itself, to literally become the gods
    they have so far only pretended to be.
    From the world’s gleaming new AI-crafted cities to the crumbling ruins of the old ones, the two
    unlikely allies, one a childhood survivor of the Bad Times and the other a privileged daughter of
    2
    wealth, must run a gauntlet of hostile AIs, vengeful modern-day gods, and mysterious ancient
    deities, desperately trying to disrupt the plans of the most powerful people who have ever
    lived. Nothing less than the fate of free will itself hangs in the balance.

  • Garden of Thought E.334 Cleric of Arcana

    Garden of Thought E.334 Cleric of Arcana
    Nov 16 2025
    The Cleric of Chaos rejoins the Garden to discuss and educate on the more modern aspects of the Left Hand side. Including a working origin of that descriptor.

    We start with the no very ancient symbol known as Baphomet. It's likely origins and it's misuse over the last few centuries. We also address the Chruch of Satan, Luciferians, the Satanic Panic - then and now, and some prominent names.

    Perfect for year round, but especially during spooky season.

  • Garden of Thought E.333 Bask in Basque Mythology

    Garden of Thought E.333 Bask in Basque Mythology
    Nov 12 2025
    Bernie Taylor's back and he's bringing the knowledge. He doesn't just have the writings, he actually has the cave paintings. Thousands of years old. In the mysterious Basque territories. For those who don't know, the Basques are a people who live along the borders of Spain and France. They have wanted an independent state for a long time.

    But it's just that, their language is not related to any neighboring or nearby languages. A quasi-isolate. They also have a different general appearance than many Iberians and Franks.

    Bernie gives us a tour of the geography and their mythology. We start with the Queen of the Gods. Yes. Queen. And we explore from there. We find some similarities to old friends and some aspects relatively unique to most European religions for the past four or five millennia.

    Not all caves to the underworld are bad. Or, are they?
