Depression as Sci-fi
“We are all dying to give our lives away to something, maybe. God or Satan, politics or grammar, topology or philately - the object seemed incidental to this will to give ourselves away, utterly. To games or needles, to some other person. Something pathetic about it. A flight-from in the form of a plunging-into. Flight from exactly what? These rooms, blandly filled with excrement and heat? To what purpose?” David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest Mac Rogers uses scifi not just to examine big questions about society, but big existential questions about ourselves. Our morality, our happiness, our ability to love and be loved back. Whether it’s in brilliant series like this, his other series Life/After, Steal the Stars, or with his plays like The Honeycomb Trilogy—they all plumb the depths of their characters in unique, insightful, and surprising ways as every character and every decision grows more thorny and complicated. Compelling listening.

I love a good sci-fi audio drama and Give Me Away didn’t disappoint. Great sound quality and voice acting with a story that kept me intrigued. Hopefully there will be a season 2 because I’d love the chance to listen to more episodes.
