Escape Pod 987: In the Palace of Science (Part 1 of 2)
Track One– If you’ve found this recording, two things can be said for certain. The first is that I have passed my greatest test as a man and, in doing so, have passed from this world.

How far would you go to save the only person you’ve ever known? Do you like philosophy, time travel, and fortune cookies? My novella SUM is about Matt, the world’s most advanced AI. He likes time travel and heavy metal. And of course, a good idiom. www.amazon.com/Sum-Melinda-...

It's the least you can do for the complete horror you inflicted on my brain with We Are All Completely Fine (in a good way, but still)
