Speaker 1: Calzon Media.
Speaker 2: Book Club book Club, book Club book Club. Hello, and
Speaker 2: welcome to the cools On Media book Club, the only
Speaker 2: book club where you don't have to do the reading
Speaker 2: because I do the reading for you. I'm your host,
Speaker 2: Margaret Kiljoy, and every week I bring new stories or
Speaker 2: story adjacent things sometimes, but this time it's stories because
Speaker 2: this time, as you probably notice from the title, it
Speaker 2: is part two of a novella called Hermetica by Alan Lee,
Speaker 2: which was published by Detritus.
Speaker 1: Books and twenty twenty one. And I'm really excited that
Speaker 1: we got permission to run that novella here for you all.
Speaker 1: Alan Lee is the speculative fiction pen name for Peter
Speaker 1: Gelderlos and Peter Gelderlos for folks who aren't familiar, is
Speaker 1: the author of a bunch of nonfiction books that you
Speaker 1: might have read, including The Solutions Already here and How
Speaker 1: non Violence Protects the State. If you like this story,
Speaker 1: well you should tell Allen Lee to write more stories.
Speaker 1: But if you want nonfiction, you can go out and
Speaker 1: check Peter's books, and you can also check out Peter Substack,
Speaker 1: which is Surviving Leviathan, which has a lot of different
Speaker 1: essays and things that are good because if you like
Speaker 1: the things that Peter says, you'll like the things that
Speaker 1: Peter says. That seems self evident now that I say
Speaker 1: it out loud, But what isn't self evident is what's
Speaker 1: going to happen next. I'm going to do the thing
Speaker 1: where I read a couple paragraphs of what had just happened,
Speaker 1: just so that you are caught up, even though there's
Speaker 1: going to be a scene transition. But it's a flashback
Speaker 1: to when Days, our protagonist is taking a test. Before
Speaker 1: the test begins, you will all go in too, configure
Speaker 1: and set the test time back to nine twenty zero zero.
Speaker 1: Use this override. A twelve digit passcode appeared on the
Speaker 1: main screen that was certainly irregular, and it hardly seemed fair.
Speaker 1: They had now lost five full minutes from their testing time,
Speaker 1: and no one ever got through all the problems. Days
Speaker 1: decided not to comply. Still frightened of the examiner, they
Speaker 1: moved their fingers over the tactile so they'd blend in
Speaker 1: with all the others. Then the test started and the
Speaker 1: first problem appeared on everyone's screen. Okay, that's where we
Speaker 1: left it with the implication, at least I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: the fact that they like didn't go along with what
Speaker 1: they got told to do is like why they didn't
Speaker 1: do well on the getting along with other people thing.
Speaker 1: That's my assumption, all right, this is the new part.
Speaker 1: Days was delighted to find snookums waiting at the module
Speaker 1: when they walked up, arms full of groceries from the
Speaker 1: supply node. Module opened up to let two of them in,
Speaker 1: and Days gave the cat a good scratch behind the ear.
Speaker 1: As soon as the groceries were safely atop the table.
Speaker 1: They had gotten more than enough ingredients for dinner real tomatoes, basil, garlic, onion, mushrooms, ricotta, mozzarella,
Speaker 1: red paste, petra beef egg sub fresh lasagna noodles. They'd
Speaker 1: had a backlog of credit, having canceled the last week
Speaker 1: of socials. If they weren't feeling up for a social,
Speaker 1: they usually weren't feeling up for cooking, and emors were unlimited,
Speaker 1: just a voice command away. Days was reputed to be
Speaker 1: the best cook on the block. There was not much competition,
Speaker 1: but still it was nice to be valued for something.
Speaker 1: As long as they canceled social appointments on bad days.
Speaker 1: Friendship with Days was a cherished commodity. The meals they
Speaker 1: whipped up balanced their unpredictability the fact that so often
Speaker 1: they simply did not show up. In truth, it worked
Speaker 1: out quite well. They needed at least five days worth
Speaker 1: of credit to get enough fresh ingredients for a good meal.
Speaker 1: Taking on too many socials just wouldn't be tenable. Aksa
Speaker 1: just released a new list. Shall I put it on?
Speaker 1: Of course? Module knew that Days nearly always listened to
Speaker 1: music while cooking and access lists were highly rated. But
Speaker 1: today Days had a specific melody worming its way through
Speaker 1: their brain. No put on devoric Slavonic dance one the
Speaker 1: forty six. The orchestra erupted pleasantly through the module's walls,
Speaker 1: and Days started on the prep, chopping the onion, mincing
Speaker 1: half the garlic front left burner medium high, front right
Speaker 1: burner medium. They placed two pans on the rain, dripped
Speaker 1: in some olive oil. Next, they converted the mushroom into
Speaker 1: thin slices. There was an autocutter built into the wall
Speaker 1: next to the range, but Days relished the contact, the
Speaker 1: differing textures and resistance of the vegetables, the weight, and
Speaker 1: the inexorable finality of the knife. A simple machine that
Speaker 1: ebedded rather than forestalled entropy. The pans were already hot.
Speaker 1: They put the onions in one, the garlic in the other.
Speaker 1: The violins and flutes pranced with a deceptive gayety before
Speaker 1: the bassoons came in and the whole thing rocketed to
Speaker 1: its frenetic finale. Who were those people clapping? It must
Speaker 1: be a recorded concert from back on Terra. Her Medico
Speaker 1: was big, but Days had never heard of it having
Speaker 1: a concert hall or a full symphony orchestra module cyclolont
Speaker 1: Slavonic dance. Seven following Days's biostats their reaction to the
Speaker 1: previous peace current activity. Days had tried learning an instrument once,
Speaker 1: but had little talent or perhaps a lack of consistency.
Speaker 1: They were fascinated by music, though. One of the quirks
Speaker 1: of NTK and the New Safety was that people tracked
Speaker 1: for the sciences had little access to studies on history, culture,
Speaker 1: and philosophy, basically any of the extraneous product of Terran civilization.
Speaker 1: Perhaps the architects of Hermetica had wanted a clean break.
Speaker 1: The Terrans had discovered thermodynamics very well, but why weigh
Speaker 1: themselves down with all the other baggage of a self
Speaker 1: destructive society. So they had libraries full of dismembered artifacts,
Speaker 1: from novels to waltzes, but little about the stories behind them.
Speaker 1: Days often found themselves wondering about the people who had
Speaker 1: created such beautiful music. They had first gotten hooked while
Speaker 1: studying for the aptitudes when certain kinds of music were
Speaker 1: boosted from improving focus and retention. Really, they were only
Speaker 1: familiar with thirty odd pieces by half a dozen composers.
Speaker 1: Didn't understand the weird number word system for cataloging symphonies,
Speaker 1: nor what dramatic experiences the composers were drawing on. Yet
Speaker 1: something undeniable was there, reaching across the void to commune.
Speaker 1: Days turned back to the task at hand. As the
Speaker 1: melody twirled and slowed, joyous and grave, a whirlwind of
Speaker 1: life on the precipice of despair. They scooped the petra
Speaker 1: beef in with the garlic and shook on a generous
Speaker 1: dusting of cayenne. It was going to be a beautiful supper.
Speaker 1: Days stole a moment on the couch with snookums, running
Speaker 1: their thumb between the cat's shoulder blades as it purred blissfully.
Speaker 1: Before long, though they had to get back to the range,
Speaker 1: stirring the beef the onions, adding the mushrooms to the onions,
Speaker 1: salting them. Module picked the next score, Shostakovich's second Waltz.
Speaker 1: Preheat oven to one ninety front right, burner to high front,
Speaker 1: left off. They whipped together the rikatta and the egg.
Speaker 1: Sub opened the red paste, boiled the oven pan, and
Speaker 1: topped a layer of red paste with the first layer
Speaker 1: of lasagna. The petro beef was sizzling. They turned off
Speaker 1: the last burner and then continued layering veggie's meat and
Speaker 1: red paste Lasagna, rikatta, lasagna mazzarella on top. When all
Speaker 1: the layers were in place, then into the oven. Days
Speaker 1: can make the salad later. The tomatoes would be best
Speaker 1: if served freshly chopped. They hurried back to the couch
Speaker 1: where Snookums was still kneading the fabric and staring at them.
Speaker 1: Horns sounded quietly at first, then joined by trombones, strings,
Speaker 1: wind wins. They had forgotten about the music. Module had
Speaker 1: cycled on to the eleventh Symphony. Milty should be arriving
Speaker 1: in an hour. Perfect timing. Snookum shifted its weight against
Speaker 1: Dais's thigh and the two of them blissed out, carried
Speaker 1: along by the symphony's rising emotion. Now tragic, now heroic.
Speaker 1: Suddenly it was time to take the lasagna out, slice
Speaker 1: the tomatoes, mince the basil and garlic. And then Milty
Speaker 1: was there. But do you know what else is here?
Speaker 1: That's right, the advertisers. They're here to share dinner with you.
Speaker 1: Just imagine each one of them sitting at the table.
Speaker 1: What conversation would they bring? You don't really have to guess,
Speaker 1: because they'll tell you. And we're back. Milty had gone
Speaker 1: into organic chemistry, and their work had something to do
Speaker 1: with growing tissue samples or replacement organs that days did
Speaker 1: not fully understand. Most of the time they worked from home,
Speaker 1: going over lab results or conducting tests by remote, but
Speaker 1: every now and then they got to go into campus,
Speaker 1: some twenty blocks away. The standard block had four nodes,
Speaker 1: one on each end of the two perpendicular streets, a
Speaker 1: health center, a supply node, a maintenance center, and some
Speaker 1: other workstation different for every block. Those who did not
Speaker 1: work at either of those four stations worked from home
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Vectors on her Medica had to
Speaker 1: be kept to a constant minimum, but Scientific research was
Speaker 1: a major priority on board her Medica had set out
Speaker 1: from Terra with a solid design and trajectory towards a
Speaker 1: cluster of star systems with a high number of promising exoplanets,
Speaker 1: but the greater part of their mission resources were in Potentia,
Speaker 1: the cohorts of advanced scientists who were constantly improving the
Speaker 1: ship's propulsion, making sure life systems could function for five
Speaker 1: hundred years with no external inputs, and augmenting their terraforming
Speaker 1: kits to be ready for whatever the conditions were on
Speaker 1: the exoplanet they eventually settled. None of that had ever
Speaker 1: been done before. Laboratories were the largest spaces on the ship,
Speaker 1: entire blocks or several adjacent blocks fitted out as scientific campuses.
Speaker 1: Days had no idea how many there were in total,
Speaker 1: but Milty was lucky enough to work at one of them,
Speaker 1: and they were kind enough to only tell stories that
Speaker 1: helped Days appreciate how large their world was without feeling
Speaker 1: envious about being confined to such a small part of it.
Speaker 1: Days liked Milty. After dinner, they put on a movie,
Speaker 1: a new one that paired Humphrey Bogart and Robert Williams
Speaker 1: in an old style Western, the first two in a
Speaker 1: probe team to land on Mars. Days loved listening to
Speaker 1: Milty laugh. The film was Milty's recommendation. Days had rarely
Speaker 1: enjoyed Westerns in the past, but they cannot think of
Speaker 1: any other new release to recommend. In the end, they
Speaker 1: had to admit Bogart played the perfect straight, hard jawled
Speaker 1: eyes on the mission as Williams went crazy itching at
Speaker 1: the regolith that got inside their suit or getting in
Speaker 1: a shouting match with the air minor Bravo. Days said,
Speaker 1: when it was over, you liked it. Oh, I'm glad
Speaker 1: I needed to laugh today. So I have a question,
Speaker 1: Milty said. They knew Days loved to discuss films as
Speaker 1: soon as they were done, and they always indulged them.
Speaker 1: A Film Studies elective had been one of Days's favorite
Speaker 1: courses in school, covering everything from sound engineering to narrative technique.
Speaker 1: In introduction for those who would go on to work
Speaker 1: in entertainment, the teacher, a kindly bearded old person, often
Speaker 1: diverged into the long history of the craft pre exploration,
Speaker 1: and those tangential lectures refracted through the lens of dolly
Speaker 1: zooms and fourth walls. Were the source of much of
Speaker 1: what Days knew about Terra. Ask away, why do they
Speaker 1: call them Westerns? I thought West was a Terran positional reference.
Speaker 1: It can only map onto a planetary surface relative to rotation, right,
Speaker 1: so is it a cultural thing? I remember some Terrans
Speaker 1: referred to themselves as Western. There was, in fact an
Speaker 1: esoteric joke about primitives on Terra only moving in one direction,
Speaker 1: counter to the planet's rotational spin. Days knew the answer
Speaker 1: to this one. It was true that the protagonists of
Speaker 1: Westerns were always pasty skinned, and the bad guys, if
Speaker 1: there were any besides misbehaving air miners and silicate factories,
Speaker 1: had their skin darkened or a neo Western's painted green.
Speaker 1: As a child, Days had assumed it was in fact
Speaker 1: the protagonists who painted their skin in some bizarre old
Speaker 1: world status esthetic. After all, nearly all the people they
Speaker 1: had seen with such pasty skin were Terran actors. The
Speaker 1: film teacher, though, had explained that an old world Terra,
Speaker 1: before the explorations began, the pasty skinned phenotype had dominated
Speaker 1: the film industry and only cast themselves in the leading roles.
Speaker 1: What a bizarre place Tera must have been, and what
Speaker 1: a relief that Hermetica and all its passengers had left
Speaker 1: Tera far behind them. Actually, there are pretty specific genre requirements.
Speaker 1: A western is a retrospective science fiction, said in what
Speaker 1: was considered to be a primitive or low tech frontier. Wow,
Speaker 1: you really paid attention in class, are you kidding? I
Speaker 1: ate that shit up all electives. Not enough focus on
Speaker 1: the core material, they said, with a ryegrin, A sure
Speaker 1: track to being a palliative therapist or a cleaner. Hey, days,
Speaker 1: I would rather watch movies with you than with any
Speaker 1: of my work colleagues, So don't stop lay more of
Speaker 1: this knowledge on me. Retrospective science fiction. Yeah, the story
Speaker 1: is set in a place in the past, so low
Speaker 1: technology relative to the audience, and in a territory, though
Speaker 1: identify as especially primitive and chaotic. Yet at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's a territory that has been tamed and organized by
Speaker 1: the time the people are there watching the movie, a
Speaker 1: space that in fact might be identified as being at
Speaker 1: the cutting edge of their technological development. See you have
Speaker 1: Humphrey Bogart bumbling around on Mars and Terra's first attempt
Speaker 1: at extraterrestrial inhabitation, John Wayne playing suck the caesium on
Speaker 1: the Nevada test site. I guess the first works in
Speaker 1: the genre would be called The Tempest or the Aonid.
Speaker 1: By this point, Days was just riffing. Their old teacher
Speaker 1: had mentioned the fact about John Wayne's demise, satisfaction and
Speaker 1: bitterness waging some unexplained battle across their face. But the
Speaker 1: literary references where connections Days had come up with in
Speaker 1: the moment, no way to evaluate their historical validity, certainly,
Speaker 1: no studies to cite, simply a pattern that felt right obvious.
Speaker 1: Even so, why Western? Oh? I guess it's a coincidence,
Speaker 1: but most of the classical or modern Westerns involved geographic
Speaker 1: travel to the west on the planetary surface, not the
Speaker 1: case with neo Westerns. But by that time the name
Speaker 1: had already stuck. Feeling fully comfortable now or desirous of
Speaker 1: more attention, Snookum's god in Days's lap, Milty hadn't mentioned
Speaker 1: it yet, which was odd. Snookum's had been rubbed against
Speaker 1: Dais's legs or purring on the couch between the two
Speaker 1: for the whole movie. So this cat appeared yesterday? What cat?
Speaker 1: Milty asked, earnestly, still smiling, Well, the cat of ad
Speaker 1: for this is the worst ad transition I've ever done.
Speaker 1: But imagine it was clever, and then that would be
Speaker 1: what was happening, a clever ad transition. And if you
Speaker 1: had cooler zone media, you would just get the clever
Speaker 1: ad transitions. But if you don't, you also get the ads.
Speaker 1: It's like bonus content. By not paying, you get to
Speaker 1: listen to these ads or press forward thirty seconds like
Speaker 1: usually four to six times until you hear the jingle
Speaker 1: music come back in. It's really up to you and
Speaker 1: we're back. What cat, Multi asked earnestly, still smiling. Snowcums
Speaker 1: flicked its tail in sudden displeasure. Oh never, long story,
Speaker 1: No tell me, Milty smiled again in encouragement. I was
Speaker 1: days knew not to push it. People saw what they
Speaker 1: were going to see, and most of them hated the
Speaker 1: idea that not everyone saw the same thing. I was
Speaker 1: thinking of applying for a companion animal. Oh that's great,
Speaker 1: I saw one yesterday. The profile, I mean looks really cute.
Speaker 1: Snokem's jumped off Day's lap in a huff. Milty still
Speaker 1: didn't notice. I'm sure you'll get approved. There's not too
Speaker 1: many on our block. You've a good record you work
Speaker 1: in therapy. They didn't add that mental health index was
Speaker 1: also a factor. Didn't need to. I bet you'll get
Speaker 1: your first choice too. What's it look like the cute one?
Speaker 1: Snookeums began scratching the side of the couch and pat
Speaker 1: to irritation like a trouble maker. Hey do you want dessert?
Speaker 1: Days had to change the subject fast before Milty asked
Speaker 1: to see the profile. Milty went home after dessert Snooums
Speaker 1: was still huffy, scratching at the wall panel as Days
Speaker 1: put dishes in the chute. Their mood was starting to crash.
Speaker 1: Why did socials always end up making them feel more alone?
Speaker 1: A module put the music back on. Accusatory notes rang
Speaker 1: out sharply Shostakovich's Symphony Number thirteen. According to the screen,
Speaker 1: Snookums began scratching more furiously, as though it wanted to
Speaker 1: be heard over the strings. Hey, I'm sorry, some people
Speaker 1: just don't want to see. What was I supposed to do?
Speaker 1: Days walked over and picked the cat up, hugging it tightly.
Speaker 1: Snookum's forebore then resisted, and finally Days let it spring
Speaker 1: to the floor. Hey, you did some damage here, Days
Speaker 1: knelt down. The corner of the wall panel had actually
Speaker 1: come loose. That wasn't good, but instead of pushing it
Speaker 1: back into place. The module was largely self repairing, and
Speaker 1: a little nudge to realign the panel might solve the
Speaker 1: whole thing. Days began pulling. They had never seen what
Speaker 1: was behind a wall panel, and at the moment, the
Speaker 1: perfect stability of their environment felt like mockery. It was
Speaker 1: a feeling which Days would be unable to explain, yet
Speaker 1: at the same time was absolutely certain. The walls exuded scorn.
Speaker 1: They condescended, they knew things they assumed Days was unable
Speaker 1: to see, and they belittled their attempts to think freely.
Speaker 1: Continuing may cause structural damage. It's okay, Module, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to fix it. Actually, I need you to release this
Speaker 1: panel so I can put it back in properly. It's misaligned.
Speaker 1: Most systems were self regulating, and modules data certainly indicated
Speaker 1: Days was in fact wrong, but a standard AI parameter
Speaker 1: allowed human intervention to override system decisions in cases where
Speaker 1: the risk only encompassed a single element and not the
Speaker 1: whole system. Human perception, however, imprecise was open ended, and
Speaker 1: system criteria had to come from passengers anyway, so module relented.
Speaker 1: The wall panel came free. It was not the destructive
Speaker 1: release Days had been hoping for, nothing like taking a
Speaker 1: hammer to the whole structure. But on her Medica, all
Speaker 1: forms of release were modulated through the paramount need to compromise.
Speaker 1: The gesture's inevitable disappointment, however, evaporated immediately. Mystery took its place.
Speaker 1: For the moment the panel came free, a sheet that
Speaker 1: had been tucked behind it fell to the ground. Snookums
Speaker 1: took a seat beside it, looking up at Days pointedly.
Speaker 1: Days's hands began to tremble. Remembering their alibi, they quickly
Speaker 1: stuck the panel back in the wall. Okay, that should
Speaker 1: do it. Panel is aligned, and secured their mouth dry.
Speaker 1: Days picked up the sheet off the floor. Its texture
Speaker 1: was strange, brittle, its tones muted and dirty. It was
Speaker 1: covered with minuscule writing on both sides. But when Days
Speaker 1: tried to enlarge nothing happened. Had it been back there
Speaker 1: so long it had run out of battery. They shook
Speaker 1: it a few times and tried again. Nothing. A device
Speaker 1: like that should be piezo electric, but maybe it was malfunctioned.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was why it had been discarded back there.
Speaker 1: Days stood and brought the sheet to the range. If
Speaker 1: it had any internal circuits, even malfunctioning ones, the range
Speaker 1: would detect them, recharge them, and if possible, repair them. Nothing.
Speaker 1: The range did not recognize the sheet as electronic Days
Speaker 1: looked closer, twisted an edge of it. It seemed to
Speaker 1: be made of some kind of fiber, and not one
Speaker 1: they were familiar with. Well, they'd have to do this
Speaker 1: the old fashioned way. Squinting, they began to read. Along
Speaker 1: the top there was a date June twelfth, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: below a yellowing margin. An article began experts as vaccine
Speaker 1: Hope's falter choking sickness here to stay. Dun, Dun, dun.
Speaker 1: That's the end of part two. What does it all mean?
Speaker 1: Why is there a presumably newspaper hidden inside the wall.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that I like this book is
Speaker 1: that I have a specific fondness for generationships. I think
Speaker 1: I first read Orphans in the Sky, which I could
Speaker 1: not tell you the first thing about when I was
Speaker 1: very young, and which is a book. Bey Heinlen is
Speaker 1: a very complicated author. It's the easiest way to put
Speaker 1: that and just this idea that since we can't assume
Speaker 1: that we'll ever have warp speed or hyper space or
Speaker 1: faster than light travel, that if humanity is ever going
Speaker 1: to get to the stars, we're going to have generationships.
Speaker 1: We're going to have ships where people live and die
Speaker 1: and you know, have their entire lives like on these ships.
Speaker 1: And it's always been an idea that fascinates me. It's
Speaker 1: funny because it's like just as much science fiction feeling
Speaker 1: is like light speed to me. But that's because we
Speaker 1: can't even get biodomes to work here on Earth, to
Speaker 1: my understanding. But that's because we don't try enough. I
Speaker 1: think I think that a hermetically sealed environment, a hermetica
Speaker 1: as it were, it's like probably possible, you know, but
Speaker 1: we certainly haven't nailed it. I can't take people like
Speaker 1: Elon Musk seriously. There are a million reasons I can't
Speaker 1: take Elon Musk personally seriously. But it's why I can't
Speaker 1: take anyone claiming to be looking at Mars expedition seriously
Speaker 1: because the problem with getting to Mars, there's so many problems,
Speaker 1: but it's not rocketry. The first and foremost problem is
Speaker 1: sealed environments is biodomes, and so that's what people would
Speaker 1: be putting their efforts into if they were actually serious
Speaker 1: about it. Anyway, that's my rant about generationships. But join us.
Speaker 1: Next week we get to part three of her Metica
Speaker 1: by Alan Lee, And if you want to read more
Speaker 1: from the author, you can do by finding the other
Speaker 1: name they write under, Peter Gelderlos, which is G. E. L.
Speaker 1: D R. Los. You can find him on substack Surviving Leviathan,
Speaker 1: or you can check out many of his books. You
Speaker 1: can probably check out all of his books, but he
Speaker 1: has many of them. They talk about anarchism, and they
Speaker 1: talk about history, and they talk about tactics, and they
Speaker 1: talk about, well, the solutions are already here. Is about
Speaker 1: how there's a lot of ways that we can deal
Speaker 1: with climate change and things like that, and it's not
Speaker 1: by science fiction breakthroughs, but by looking at things that
Speaker 1: already work. Speaking of already working, I already did my
Speaker 1: work of reading you this episode, So I'm signing off now.
Speaker 1: This is Margaret Kiljoy. You can find me wherever you
Speaker 1: want to, and I probably am there, but I'm also
Speaker 1: on substack. That's where I kind of write the most
Speaker 1: consistently right now. I also have another podcast called Cool
Speaker 1: People Did Cool Stuff, which is a history podcast, and
Speaker 1: I will talk to you all soon. It Could Happen
Speaker 1: here as a production of cool Zone Media. For more
