129. Dystopia, Why So Prevalent? — w/ Andrew Liptak and James Decker (A Discussion)

Original Art by Dirk Reul; Adapted by Alt Jade Designs

Dystopia, dystopia, dystopia!  Noted critic Andrew Liptak and author James Decker join Paul and I to discuss why we think dystopian narratives are so prevalent in the 20th and 21st centuries.  We talk definitions (the problems and practicalities), a little history, and more.  Plus, we also take a moment to talk about our favorite aliens (what are yours?) and James’ new book, The Burn Zone.

We hope you enjoy the episode!
