anarchySF - an anarchist, science fiction podcast

All the dweebs are going to the moon, but we're taking this baby all the way to Mars (or shall I say Marx?) with this excellent French animated sci-fi noir thriller.

Some topics:
- The State of Exception
- Lines of Flight
- Homo Sacer
- The Teleology Crisis
- The Inescapable Reality of Labor

We talk about the tabletop RPG/War game Lancer and its unusual utopianism

Some topics:

- Those who Walk Away from Omelas and the structure of Dystopia/Utopia

- Reimagining the French Revolution

- The Role of Violence in a Communist Utopia

- Permanent Revolution

We never left, so we are not back. We just like to keep you guessing about episode times. This time we talk about the brilliant Saint of Bright Doors, a decolonial multifaceted dark fantasy novel that's quite a thinker, but also pretty accessible. Give it a read!

Eden recommends playing "Laysara: Summit Kingdom", which kinda fits the theme of this episode.

We talk about how to critique the Fascist sentiments in Warhammer 40k, without worrying too much about the degrees of intent or satire behind it.

We talk about Ammonite, a somewhat under-the-radar excellent sci-fi book about a virus killing all the men in a far-off planet and exploring indigenous lands as a colonizer anthropologist

Themes explored:

- Anthrophopolitics and diversity within identity

- Biopolitics and virology

- "Going Native" (TM)

- Some Ursula LeGuin themes
