This week on my #podcast I return to my discussion of The Culture setting and explore the Culture’s origins and its structure of government, such as it is.

Sisyphus History

I just showed up

Stumbled in

Now I am here
in a smoke filled room
where nothing is clear

Only a matter of time
before someone in authority
whispers in my ear
