Ep 26 - For the Win

Video games are a huge business taking in even more money than most movie studios so there is no surprise that economies have grown up around them. People pay good money to help level up their characters, gold farm and do all of the other boring and hard things that get in the way of gaming. And even though people who do those jobs are still playing a video game, are they not still in sweatshops with poor to no rights? This month we review For the Win by Cory Doctorow and take a look at the issues surrounding the online gaming world. Next book will be Book of Mythicality by Rhett & Link.

Ep 12 - We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

Imagine you wake up in the future and instead of being defrosted from being cryogenically frozen, you find out you've been turned into a computer program? Oh and the world is about to end? And you might be the last best hope for humanity's survival in space? This month we get to explore the cosmos with a guy who goes from visiting a comic con to hopefully saving the future... with 3D printers! November's book will be: Off To Be the Wizard by Scott Meyer.
