Hey, @histodons who like #podcasts and #scifi!

Are you familiar with the #Revolutions podcast? The first 10 seasons (years 10 and 11 are a Russian revolution 2-parter) are about historical revolutions. The eleventh? It's about the Martian Revolution that started in 2247.

It's quite a fun listen. I found out about it from the #ItCouldHappenHere podcast Monday and have been binging it ever since.

Here's the first episode of Revolutions season 11:

Hermetic Library Fellow T Polyphilus reviews The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer [Amazon, Bookshop, Publisher, Local Library] by Neal Stephenson It’s hard to believe that this book is now nearly thirty years old! The “Diamond Age” is a relatively near future–the late 21st century?–in which nanofabrication has made diamond cheaper than glass. […]

Audioblog | Saison V • Episode 9 • Serbie : Odgovornost

Quatre mois désormais que la Serbie s'est levée et que toutes les tentatives du pouvoir pour faire retomber la vague ont échoué. Depuis la fin des années 90 et la chute de Milosevic, le pays n'avait plus connu tel soulèvement. Un ras-le-bol qui naît d'une accumulation des luttes et des ressentiments envers un régime dépassé, corrompu, et prêt à vendre le pays aux investisseurs et multinationales au détriment des Serbes.
