This week, a caller from Chicago requests books that take a deep dive into world building and world destroying. Think apocalyptic fiction! Plus, hear Naomi Alderman talk about her book, The Power, as we revisit the Vox Book Club zoom event from April. For books about the end of the world, Constance recommends:
-
The Terra Incognita Trilogy by Ada Palmer
-
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
-
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.
