Rose Macaulay's "What Not": Interwar Satire, Eugenics & the Ministry of Brains
Manage episode 382201637 series 3501746
Aerobuses! Baby laws! The Ministry of Brains! It's Guy Fawkes Night and we're taking a trip into a Very English Dystopia as tribute.
Join us as we explore the world of Rose Macaulay's interwar science-fiction satire novel "What Not," where we draw unflattering parallels to our real lives, ponder the wisdom of idealism, and wonder how long it will be before some billionaire creates flying buses that are also death traps.
As always, sources & things can be found at didntreaditpod.com!
