    Air Raid | Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction | Podcast
    Apr 15 2026
    Air Raid is a short story by John Varley that won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for Best Short Story. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity is decimated by disease and deformity, the plot follows a team of reanimated "undead" time travelers who travel back to the past to rescue victims of impending air crashes. These "Snatch teams" extract healthy passengers from doomed flights (such as a 1979 plane crash) before they die, bringing them forward to Centauri-3 (or "New Earth") to repopulate the dying future world. The story explores themes of time travel paradoxes, moral ambiguity, and human survival, noting that the rescuers must replace the victims with "wimps" (realistic dummies) to maintain the timeline's integrity.

    The story served as the basis for the 1989 film Millennium.

    Denkirch | HOrror Fiction | Podcast
    Apr 9 2026
    Denkirch is the first published short story by David Drake, originally appearing in the 1967 horror anthology Travellers by Night edited by August Derleth. It is described as a Lovecraft pastiche and established Drake's early career in horror and weird fiction before he became famous for military science fiction.

    Excerpt: "Now I sleep only by day or when the sky is cloudy, and when the stars gleam bright in the heavens I walk little back streets, avoiding other people, for I do not care to be reminded of my humanity and my inevitable fate. My acquaintances think me odd, but they would not understand if I told them that on dear nights the stars speak to me, and that if I did not walk I would go mad. So I walk the lonely streets, and the echoing cadence of my stride helps to muffle the rhythmic whispers, but still my mind is forced back to Denkirch, who proved Man’s unique place in the universe."

    We Can Remember It For You Wholesale | Philip K. Dick | Podcast
    Mar 28 2026
    We Can Remember It for You Wholesale is a compact but deeply unsettling slice of classic sci-fi—one that bends memory, identity, and reality until none of them feel reliable.

    Published in 1966 by Philip K. Dick, the story follows Douglas Quail, an ordinary man with an extraordinary obsession: Mars. He dreams of going there, but his life—and his bank account—keep him grounded on Earth. That’s when he turns to a company called Rekal, Inc., which offers something almost too perfect: implanted memories.

    Why travel to Mars when you can remember that you already have?

    Quail pays for a customized memory—one where he lived out his fantasy as a secret agent on Mars. But as technicians begin the implantation process, something goes wrong. Or rather… something surfaces.

    They discover that Quail may already have real memories of Mars—memories that were deliberately erased.
    ​
    From that moment on, the story fractures into paranoia. Authorities move in. Identities blur. Quail can’t tell whether he’s a bored office worker, a former government operative, or something even stranger. Every answer only deepens the mystery.

    At its core, the story plays with a haunting idea:
    If your memories can be manufactured… how do you prove who you are?

    The story was famously adapted into the film Total Recall (1990).
