Ep 492 - Too Like the Lightning, by Ada Palmer

Ada Palmer's Too Like the Lightning is mostly concerned with big historical questions like "what if nationality had nothing to do with geography" and "what if a boy could make toys come to life," but it also deals with things like "what if noticing gender were a fetish" and "what if all the world's leaders were secretly slamming each other."

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
