Episode description

Hello everyone!!


For this month's Left Page we're being ambitious! We talk about the first three books of The Expanse series, by James S. A. Corey! And let us tell you, this is one hell of a SF world!


We dive into the materialist representation and replication of capitalism and oppression, even in space. We also engage in the cosmic aspects of space, the room occupied by the unknown, and the chance for creating gaps of hope even in a dystopic and capitalist reality. It's a very special episode, and one that shows how, even in dystopias, we must ever struggle to make room for utopias.


Enjoy!!
