Røvtur for Schmeichel, ros til Nissen, ris til Riemer
Det gik ikke li’ så godt i Lissabon, som det gjorde i Parken - dermed er Danmark ude af Nations League. Danmarks11 går i kødet på landstræner Riemer og hans udvalgte, som ikke ramte den lige i røven i 5-2-nederlaget mod Portugal.

Ep. 113: Seqoia Nagamatsu, How High We Go in the Dark
Da forskere i 2030 opdager en dødelig virus i den optøende permafrost i Arktis, startes en global pandemi. I How High We Go in the Dark oplever vi menneskehedens kamp med konsekvenserne og lærer om virussens mystiske ophav. Bogen er den første roman af forfatteren Sequoia Nagamatsu. Den udkom i 2022, men Nagamatsu skrev på den igennem ti år. Så historiens skildringer af pandemien strækker altså tilbage længe før pandemien. Nagamatsu kombinerer videnskabelig spekulation med dybt menneskelige historier, hvilket resulterer i en roman, der er både tankevækkende og bevægende. I et kap...

Ep. 112: Brian W. Aldiss, Non-Stop
Ombord på et ældgammelt generationsskib er noget gået frygtelig galt. Hydroponiske planter har overtaget alt, og menneskene lever under primitive forhold, uvidende om, at de faktisk befinder sig på et rumskib. Brian W. Aldiss’ “Non-Stop” er et helt unikt take på generationsskibsfortællingen. “Non-stop”, udgivet i 1958, markerede et vigtigt vendepunkt i science fiction-litteraturen og cementerede Aldiss’ status som en af de mest indflydelsesrige forfattere inden for genren. “Non-Stop” er ikke blot en fortælling om rumsrejser og eventyr i det ydre rum; det er en dybtgående udforskning af menneskets natur, samfundets udvikling og de udfordri...
