Episode description

This time we look at a fascinating work by the Cuban/Italian writer and Communist Ítalo Calvino, from 1972: Invisible Cities! It's an incredible novel about our world, despite being incredibly far from it, in its stories.

So come along on this journey of ours as we reflect on cities, memory, nature, and how we would all be better off without capitalism! It's a slightly shorter one, but really fun and interesting, for sure!
