Ep 88 - Dungeon Crawler Carl and Carls Doomsday Scenario

Almost everyone on Earth is dead. Everything and everyone you know is gone and you have no time at all to internalize any of it because you are instantly thrown into a fight for your life. No worries, this is going to be fun. Well, for the reader at least. Carl on the other hand has no shoes, no pants, and his only companion is his ex-girlfriend’s cat… who can talk. Believe it or not, as dark as that sounds, this is a hilarious book series we can’t get enough of. Find out why when we discuss the first two books in the series; Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman and Carl’s Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman.

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage right now causing people to question its use and how it will effect society.
