Summary
It is the final episode of the 1960s! Join Catherine and her returning guest Kyle as they discuss the absurdity of Stand on Zanzibar. They talk about John Brunner's distinctive style of writing chapters where every sentence is about a different character, the possibilities of a sci-fi world where the world's happiest country is in Africa, technology that can put anything into someone's brain, and if humanity is doomed now that everyone in the world can not stand on Zanzibar.
