Episode 92 - Flashback by Dan Simmons *Patron's Choice*

<p>We read <em>Flashback</em> this week at the request of our Patron J as part of their <a title="Terrible Book Club Patreon" href="https://www.patreon.com/terriblebookclub" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Patreon</a> rewards. If you, too, would like to force us to read a book, head over to our <a title="Terrible Book Club Patreon" href= "https://www.patreon.com/terriblebookclub" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">Patreon</a> and select either the $5 or $10/month tier.</p> <p>Our best approximation of <em>Flashback</em> is, "sci-fi noir alt-right doomsday fairy tale." You have been warned.</p> <p>Short-story mentioned around the 20-minute mark: <a title= "Outside the KFC by Claudia Ward-de León" href= "http://birdsthumb.org/oct-2014/2014/9/27/outside-the-kfc" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Outside the KFC by Claudia Ward-de León</a></p> <p>Content warnings: <em>Our usual barnyard language, plus: age and gender dynamics, drug use, racism (specifically, direct and frequent usage of several racial descriptors considered by most to be extremely offensive), sexual assault, violence, and weapons. It is impossible to discuss this book without also discussing politics, so please be aware of that and skip this one if you’re not interested in hearing about anything political.</em></p>
