Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reincarnation, The Haptic, Food, and Wonder: A Conversation with Amitav Ghosh on his new novel, Ghost Eye
Q: What calls you to develop capacities in people to be odd or startled, and how does that tie into the novel's aims?
Developing capacities to be startled involves preserving curiosity, resisting reductionist narratives, and embracing unexpected connections. The novel models this through its plot and characters, inviting readers to rethink what is possible in human cognition and communal action.
Reincarnation, The Haptic, Food, and Wonder: A Conversation with Amitav Ghosh on his new novel, Ghost Eye
Q: How has the reception been to Ghost Eye, and what are audiences picking up on most strongly?
Audiences have connected with the sense of wonder and memory that the book evokes; scientists and lay readers alike have responded positively, noting its accessibility and relevance to contemporary concerns about science, environment, and memory.
Reincarnation, The Haptic, Food, and Wonder: A Conversation with Amitav Ghosh on his new novel, Ghost Eye
Q: Could you talk about the interrelationship of lives and living things, and how your discussion of reincarnation is rooted yet also a huge metaphor for interdependence across time?
The interrelationship of lives is central; reincarnation serves as a metaphor for how histories, species, and environments are interwoven. Through this lens, human actions reverberate across time, and understanding these connections requires both memory and imaginative foresight.
Reincarnation, The Haptic, Food, and Wonder: A Conversation with Amitav Ghosh on his new novel, Ghost Eye
Q: For my first question, I have an extended preface. Could we talk about the notion of imagining other times and other lives, and how that might be attached to imagining with precision and the current novel?
Imagining with precision is a fundamental aspect of the writing process across Ghosh's works, but there is also a need for a broader, embodied precision that embraces sensory and historical depth. This dual precision helps bridge past and present, grounding speculative elements in lived experience and topography.
Muskism—its roots, nature, and how to fight it: A Conversation with Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff
Q: What is the core threat Muskism poses to democracy and the public sphere, and what can be done about it?
The core threat is the attempt to engineer consent and create a closed public sphere via automated systems, AI, and platform governance; countering it requires attention to the underlying political economy, public policy levers, and strategic organization that can reassert democratic norms.
