For the latest episode of A Meal of Thorns, critic and podcaster @tallesteden.bsky.social joins ARB editor @casella.bsky.social to talk about big-picture, far-future science fiction (with some surprisingly timely bits) in Greg Egan's DIASPORA:
A Meal of Thorns 43- DIASPORA with Eden Kupermintz
Greg Egan’s work exemplifies a certain kind of “hard” science fiction: not that it’s obsessed with big manly space battles, but rather that it’s using science to reall…

Got the chance to talk about one of my all time favorite sci-fi novels and also a book that I consider massively underrated. Vast scales, theoretical mathematics (no, seriously; so much math) and super cool future humanity and space travel!
You can't just "know" kung fu: @tallesteden.bsky.social is on to talk about Greg Egan's hard SF classic, DIASPORA, with much discussion of the mechanics of scale & wonder, and what we can learn from thinking about weird posthuman societies:

The tarot is really pissing me off the last few weeks. Multiple readings and they're all like: The Hanged Man! The Moon! The Gate! Like, I fucking get it cards, I am trying to make decisions and I should be patient and proceed willfully but carefully, I fucking GET it OK?

Here's that excellent first premiere of 2026. Really moving, dark, atmospheric, string-forwards classical music which flirts with doom and drone.
Tender Anger is, like its name, a study in contradictions. It is an experimental ambient album, composed mainly of strings (both deep and vibrant) but studded with warm static, and cavernous silences.
