Science Fiction Book Club
Lore Party Media 74 episodes Oct 30, 2026
Science Fiction Book Club is a podcast for bookworms and stargazers. Hosts Abu and Obssa explore science fiction novels, breaking down big ideas and asking nerdy questions. The show is built around a community of passionate sci-fi fans rather than generic book reviews. New episodes are released every other Thursday, with a reading schedule available online.
Episodes
The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu | Part 2
Abu and Obssa continue their read-through of The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. In Part II, the Wallbreakers arrive, and the hosts argue over how humanity can beat defeatism and whether this book has a villain at all.
The summary follows Frederick Tyler and Manuel Rey Diaz as their secret plans are laid bare, while Bill Hines and Keiko Yamasuki build the mental seal (Abu insists on calling it brain CR
The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu | Part 1
Abu and Obssa continue their read-through of The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. They work through all of Part I, where the UN hands four Wallfacers nearly unlimited resources and orders them to keep their plans to themselves.
Zhang Beihai quickly becomes Abu's favorite character in the book, while Luo Ji spends his new power hunting for a woman he once invented in his head. The hosts also cover the pl
The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu | Prologue
Abu and Obssa begin their read-through of The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. They cover just the prologue, a short opening that picks up right where The Three-Body Problem left off and introduces the idea of cosmic sociology.
Ye Wenjie lays out her two axioms for a skeptical Luo Ji at a graveside, and Abu argues the ant and the spider crawling over the headstone are doing more work than they seem, pic
The Dog Stars Movie Review
In this bonus episode, Abu and Obssa share their thoughts on the adaptation of The Dog Stars. Obssa caught Ridley Scott's film in theaters and breaks down how it turns Peter Heller's slow, poetic survival novel into a faster, action-driven adventure movie.
They dig into how the film expands the Grand Junction sequence into a stranger, more elaborate set piece than the book ever attempts, and how
Should You Read The Dog Stars? (Spoiler-Free Review)
Should you read The Dog Stars by Peter Heller? Abu and Obssa give their spoiler-free verdict.
The Dog Stars follows a lone survivor scraping by a few years after a pandemic has wiped out most of humanity, and it's a book for readers who love nature writing and quiet survival stories more than plot. Abu and Obssa describe the prose as unconventional, a stream-of-consciousness style that takes some
The Dog Stars by Peter Heller | Ch. 7-13
Abu and Obssa complete their read-through of The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. They close out chapters 7-13 with the book's ending, including a last-page swerve that left both hosts uneasy.
Hig, Bangley, Cima, and Pops all make it to the story's close, and Abu and Obssa spend real time on the novel's baffling, racially charged suggestion that a mysterious group survived the plague. They also dig int
The Dog Stars by Peter Heller | Ch. 1-6
Abu and Obssa begin their read-through of The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. They dig into the odd-couple partnership between the poetic, dog-loving Hig and his cold-blooded neighbor Bangley, Heller's stripped-down, punctuation-free prose style, and the quiet question sitting under the whole book: what's actually worth surviving for.

Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor | Ch. 36-51
Abu and Obssa complete their read-through of Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. Zelu's story and the Rusted Robots storyline finally meet in a twist that reframes everything that came before it, and the hosts land in very different places on whether the ending earns it. Obssa found the book's recursive structure deeply satisfying start to finish, while Abu closes out a rocky read with real res
Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor | Ch. 18-35
Abu and Obssa continue their read-through of Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. This middle third is where the two of them split hardest: one is all in on Zelu, the other can barely stand her. Between them they get into grief, exoskeletons, and who gets to decide what makes someone human.
IN THIS EPISODE
Zelu's custom exoskeleton, the line "I'm no one's robot," and whether augmentation fr
Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor | Ch. 1-17
Abu and Obssa begin their read-through of Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. They examine the three layers of the story: the present-day story of Zelu, the far-future robot novel she is secretly writing, and a string of interviews with the people who know her. They also break down Okorafor's career and where the book gets its title.
