"Really Wonderful, Enjoyable Episode
of Solutions Watch!"
Blazing Reader,
Yesterday, rather auspiciously — being St. Patrick's Day and all — my "Resistance Fiction" interview with The Corbett Report's Solutions Watch series was released. Here's the video's thumbnail with Orwell, Huxley (or, at least, their ghosts) and me:
The blurb:
"As Corbett Report aficionados already know, narratives can shape the world. Indeed, great writers throughout the ages have shaped the worldview and altered the political landscape of entire generations. So, who is working on that great task today? In this episode of Solutions Watch, James talks to John C. A. Manley about the writers who inspired his own resistance fiction and the line between resistance fiction and predictive programming."
A few of the comments so far:
• Bird | Really wonderful, enjoyable episode of Solutions Watch!
