Episode 6: Knowing the Role of Art

  • Summary

  • Science fiction has a way of reconciling a chaotic present with an uncertain future. But what happens when the sci-fi writer creates something that happens to tell the future? Liam Quane did this with his book Road to Juneau.

    Road to Juneau is a super-powered family as they feud with a cosmic god in order to stop World War 3 from happening. The book is published by Beaten Track Publishing. Liam’s story of gods and superheroes has distinct elements of the sociopolitical atmosphere the world experienced during COVID lockdown in Spring 2020. The part I couldn’t believe is that Road to Juneau was written in 2019 before the world became acquainted with the coronavirus.
