Our voyage this week takes us into the waters of fundamentalism, from a space station with the last(?) vestiges of humanity to a city in a world much like ours except for the cults and the anti-gods floating around before coming back around to our world and the mystery cult around a guy called Jesus.
ITINERARY:
Emily Tesh (Some Desperate Glory) on preventing radicalization, lessons from history about authoritarianism, and the pleasures of in-universe non-fiction.
Vajra Chandrasekera (The Saint of Bright Doors) on *not* making a secondary world, performing some anthropology of the present day, and upending expectations in order to make his book his way.
Sophie Strand (The Madonna Secret) on interrogating the motives behind the canonical Gospels and why collective storytelling is both humanity's past and its future.
