Damien Walter is a writer and storyteller. His work has appeared in The Guardian, BBC, Wired, Independent, Aeon and OUP. He teaches the rhetoric of story and writing the 21st century myth to over 35,000 students worldwide. He is also the host of the superb Science Fiction podcast. In this episode we discuss science fiction as the mythos of the modern scientific worldview. We feel that the best science fiction makes conscious use of both the logos (rationality) and mythos (the imaginal and non-rational) Two good examples being the original Star Wars movies and The Matrix. Wedding the mythos and logos in science fiction could provide a significant remedy to what many are calling ‘the meaning crisis’ of modern life.
