“Science Shrinks the World” ITF Read: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1872 novel)

Jules Verne is considered one of the fathers of Science Fiction, especially “hard” sci-fi, but what is it about him that makes that reputation well-earned? In episode 279, Luke & James discuss the influence of an editor named Hetzel, a man who traveled the  world by imagination, the blending of fact & fiction, a Verne novel published for the first time in the 1990s, many things that Verne predicted that came to pass, and finally Luke shares what the most famous underwater novel of all time made him think about his own. Join them next week when they discuss the adaptation!
