In this episode, Ben is joined by Alex Wallace (War Of The Worlds super fan) and Scott Washburn, author of 'The Grate Martian War', a hugely successful War Of The Worlds sequel.
We discuss what would've happened to Sci-fi had the book never have been written in the first place, how the book would've been received if Wells had envisaged a Martian victory-and what if the 1938 radio play had never been produced, or had been broadcast at a less politically sensitive time?
Plus, in the Feedback hub (among other things), Alex reviews the latest work of Tom Anderson, imagining a world where the Grate reform act never passes the British parliament.
