Episode description

Brent Spiner is not the android Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, but so many seem to want him to be that fictional character. Contending with a doppelganger version of yourself is something Amanda knows well, and if you have any online existence, you too will be implicated by the questions Brent Spiner explores in his new book, Fan Fiction, a mem-noir thriller about the nature of identity, celebrity, and how we form our sense of self in relation to the avatars that represent us and that we inhabit. https://bit.ly/3j1pwo0 Get early access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more by supporting Labyrinths on patreon. www.patreon.com/knoxrobinson www.knoxrobinson.com Twitter: @amandaknox | @manunderbridge IG: @amamaknox | @emceecarbon Learn more about your ad choices.
