Aaron Thorpe of The Trillbillies and Everybody Loves Communism joins us to chat about William Gibson's first published story, Fragments of a Hologram Rose. Find out with us if a simulation would smell as sweet

Episode 209: Fragments Of A Hologram Rose

In The Peripheral (based on William Gibson's book)is an ambitious sci-fi espionage thriller set across different times and different realities. It puts an twist on time travel and  mixes genres but is it all a bit too much?
Silo on Apple TV is set further into the future and after a catastrophe destroys the planet's atmosphere, a society survives in an underground silo, eking out a bare existence following strict societal rules. But more is hidden beneath the surface than just their homes.
Apple continues its pitch to be the place for grand and thoughtful sci-fi with this adaptation of Hugh Howey's book series.

Why should i be on the internet?

If you had to compare your favourite book to a biscuit, what would it be?
The Biscuit Reviews takes on books, TV shows, and podcasts and alongside an in depth review seeks to give you a real flavour of what they're like by scoring them with a biscuit rating. A solid drama might be worthy of a shortbread rating (filling, sturdy, serious) whilst a good blockbuster type show might warrant a choc chip cookie (gives you a rush and feels like a treat.)
Why not get yourself a brew and a biccie and join us.
