721. Exploring Platform Decay with Martha Wells

About this episode

Martha Wells returns to discuss and spoil her book Platform Decay in a deep conversation about its themes and elements.

Martha Wells is back, and we are taking a deep spoilery dive into Platform Decay. I want to be clear here: if you haven’t read Platform Decay , we are about to spoil the dickens out of it. Yes, Charles Dickens is in Platform Decay , you heard it here first. We’re going to discuss infrastructure fury, trains in Japan, Honor Princess Detective, and more – and when I say we are spoiling, we are spoiling. In other words, if you haven’t read Platform Decay, and you don’t want to know much about the story, skip this episode until after you’ve read it. This is a very book club kind of conversation. You can find Martha Wells on her website, MarthaWells.com, and she's on Bluesky , Goodreads , and Instagram . Please note: Martha Wells is NOT on Threads or Facebook. If someone contacts you on there, it is not really her!  We also mentioned: Legend of Zeng Hai Unveil: Jadewind Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
