Episode 3: Language in Babel-17

Books Undone

13-12-2023 • 27 mins

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Books Undone. I'm your host, Livia J. Elliot, and today we will discuss BABEL-17, a classic sci-fi by Samuel  R. Delaney. I came across it thanks to a recommendation of a BookTube channel I watch regularly, @johanareads. In this episode, I will discuss the book's central theme of linguistic relativism.

Full disclosure: there are spoilers in this podcast, but more importantly, what you will hear is my subjective opinion of it. You are allowed and entitled to disagree and differ.
