This week, Eric and Chris delve into the intriguing universe of Charles Yu’s How to Live Safely in a Science-Fictional Universe. "Holy Heinlein!": time machines as ordinary as phone booths, multi-universes at your fingertips, and time travel that demands an ironic patience. Yet, amidst the whimsical chaos of chronodiegetic manifolds and irrational gravity, Yu’s novel offers something far deeper.

In this episode, we explore how Yu’s story transcends the boundaries of science fiction to touch on the very essence of human experience. It’s a narrative not just about navigating the complexities of speculative science but about grappling with the profound themes of memory, regret, and nostalgia. At its heart, this book is a poignant reflection on family and the choices that define our lives.

Join us as we unravel the layers of Yu’s imaginative tale and discover how science fiction can illuminate our understanding of the real world. Tune in for an insightful discussion that promises to both challenge and inspire.
