Cyberpunk author and Fourth Way practitioner John Shirley is the guest this week on the podcast, and we discuss his new novel Bleak History along with the teaching of the mystic Gurdjieff, Situationalist ideas (whatever those are), and our Star Trek future. This week's podcast also features clips from Videodrome, Johnny Mnemonic, Meetings with Remarkable Men, and a BBC documentary about Postmodernism and the Bonaventure Hotel. A reading from the Coming Insurrection is also included. This week Miriam talks about the dogs on the Titanic.
