The Fountains of Paradise by Arthur C. Clark

Play episode

Hosts Chris and Eric talk about The Fountains of Paradise by Arthur C. Clarke. Sri Lanka, Taprobane is the setting for this story and real-life home to the author. Questions about whether the myths and illusions that fill the early history of the setting told by a far distant narrator, Starglider perhaps, similar to the construction of the space elevator. HBO’s Raised by Wolves premiered during this read and our hosts have some insights that cross over to Fountains of Paradise. Dune and The Foundation shows were sadly discussed due to pushed-back release dates. Would you go to a movie in a pandemic? Is there such a thing as watching a movie without popcorn? Does controlling the weather mean there is no god? Did Arthur C. Clark invent Facebook with the PIP, personal interest profile, he wrote about in Fountains of Paradise in 1979?
