  • Great Concept but overall disappointing

    She mixes very interesting ideas with philosophy and science. But she also adds a fictional story to the mix. And that’s the problem. The fictional stores are not good. I had to listen to a couple argue and yell at each other just to get to the interesting stuff.

  • Binged in one day

    This was a fascinating listen! As a lover of not only Sci-Fi but scientific debate on the possibilities of the things I’ve seen in movies with my poor friends who just want to watch the movie, this scratches an itch in my brain I never thought would be reached. Thanks for solving my endless curiosity with some realistic and entertaining answers!
