Seth is joined by Nalini Haynes of Dark Matter Zine to discuss Paolo Bacigalupi’s 2010 Hugo Award winner, The Windup Girl.
Note: This is an unusual episode, in that it’s a bit more free-form than usual, with more time spent discussing the book’s themes, particularly those of the treatment of disabled persons.
Time Codes:
| Start – 17:35 | Intro/getting to know Nalini |
| 17:36 – 32:34 | Non-Spoiler discussion |
| 32:35 – end | Spoiler discussion |
