Summary

Greetings, Comrades! I'm currently unpacking a lot of news information, so I think it's the right time to bring you my very recent interview with a futurist and science fiction author John Michael Godier from the Event Horizon podcast and YouTube channel, as a bit of a breather episode.

We had a conversation about how the Soviet Union viewed life in the future, what were their goals and...then we went to a lot of tangents. Some of which are very dark, as you really can't escape the modern realities that easily. Enjoy!
