Episode 23: Join the Escape the Earth crew as we explore futuristic Thailand—a sweltering place with gene-spliced pineapples and creche-grown humans, where money is measured in Joules. In this month’s discussion of Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl, the crew ponders the deep questions about impermanence, humanity’s infernal tinkering, and whether or not genetically-engineered beings have souls. We also discuss some lab-grown culinary delights. Mammoth meatballs, anyone?
