Sci-Fi Throwdown
Welcome to Sci-Fi Throwdown! At one time, the genre of science fiction was not considered serious literature, the stuff of mostly pulp magazines and mere entertainment. Readers of the genre will know this has not been the case for quite some time, and that there has been a surge in careful and critical analysis of science fiction developing for decades. As former philosophy students now involved in the corporate world, we hope to contribute to this trend by interpreting and analyzing work within the genre.

Join Nate and Chris as we put on our eldritch three corder hats and pig out on gibbous Boston Baked Beans to discuss H.P. Lovecraft's novelette "The Whisperer in Darkness." Oh, and lots of abyss staring, forbidden knowledge gesturing, and some mushroom crab people who can look like....anything.
