Fromage Fatale: Cults, Capitalism and Cosmic Conspiracies

Absurdism serves as a critique of American culture in this celestial discussion about genre-bending speculative fiction. In When the Moon Hits Your Eye, sci-fi legend John Scalzi delivers a kaleidoscopic romp through a world turned upside down when the moon inexplicably turns into cheese. In The High Heaven, debut novelist Joshua Wheeler traces one woman’s lifelong search for faith — from a doomsday cult in the New Mexico desert to the edge of America’s Space Age unraveling. With cosmic conspiracies, capitalist satire, and cult-fueled reckonings, this conversation probes the absurdities of belief and the stories we spin when the universe stops making sense.
