Very interesting and insightful look at how literature and politics interact
I just started listening to this podcast (6 so far) and I am finding it very interesting. Professor Brown is insightful and offers good insight into how the science fiction books he has chosen for the course reflect and offer insight into political theory. I would strongly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in politics, science fiction or just good intellectual debate. Also, I disagree with the a previous review about the students. I think many of them ask good questions and even if some of their comments are a bit off topic, well, they are students. That is part of the educational process.
