Welcome back to History in Reverse, a father/daughter science fiction podcast. Today we discuss the book by Orson Scott Card "Speaker for the Dead". There are many spoilers in the podcast, so you should probably read the book first. This episode run long, because we could not stop talking about the book, even though we did leave out a lot of observations. But that's because "Speaker For the Dead" is great.
In the introduction to the book, Orson Scott Card names James Blish's "A Case of Conscience" as an inspiration and a great example of anthropological science fiction. Check it out too.
