Welcome to the conclusion of our conversation of Emily St. John Mandel’s award-winning novel (other than the Q&A episode, which will drop next week). Topics of conversation in this one include:
* The way the book contemplates whether civilization should be saved—and the way it thinks about civilization writ-large
* the notion of re-birth and purification when things crumble
* and, of course, whether Mandel lands the plane in the end.
As always, happy listening!
