Two more episodes to go in season two! For this one, Bethanne sits down with Laila Lalami to discuss the impact of technology on identity and how we are catering ourselves towards algorithms, the role of community in freedom, and the relationship between privacy, dreams, and personal integrity. You can buy The Dream Hotel wherever books are sold.
George Orwell makes another appearance on the TBM podcast, this time with his novel 1984. Will Bethanne let another Orwell book live in the canon, or will she kick this ‘mother of dystopian novels’ out for good?
Can Bethanne beat the clock? She gives us 6 Recs for our To Be Read lists, this week focusing on feminist dystopian classics. Titles include: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, The Power by Naomi Alderman, Severance by Ling Ma, Book of Joan by Lidia Yuknavitch, The City We Became N.K. Jesmisin, and Afterland by Lauren Beukes.
