This is the sixth episode of Library Pizza, a podcast about reading hosted by the guy writing this: Mike Meginnis.

Campbell, Ben Bova, Spider Robinson (especially his story "The Guy with the Eyes"), The Sixth Column, L. Ron Hubbard, Orson Scott Card, Neuromancer, Michael Stackpole, The World According to Garp, Seeing Like a State, Moral Mazes, The Uncaccountability Machine, and László Krasznahorkai
