Welcome to our first post-read episode this month, for the first novella in the Binti Trilogy: "Binti".

In this episode, Adrian connects his childhood growing up in rural Alaska to Binti's background, Matt talks about why he loves the moral landscape of the novella, we discuss the essence of technology, and we both answer whether we'd rather be Meduse or a shrimp-ship.

Content warning for some discussion of the violence in the book, as well as spoilers for only the first Binti novella.

As always, we'd love to hear from you! Tweet us at @spectologypod, submit the episode at r/printSF, or email us at spectologypod@gmail.com with your thoughts about the book. In particular, check out our twitter this month, where we'll be posting a lot of great Afrofuturist art, music, and other resources.

Many thanks to Dubby J and Noah Bradley for doing our music and art.
