124 - Harvesting a Dead Man’s Brain

Kris and I continue our discussion about imaginary worlds by looking into the work of Daniel Defoe, with a particular focus on Moll Flanders and his Imaginary Voyages to the Moon. Did Defoe predict the invention of virtual reality? We discuss the importance of satire as a method of observing and reporting, a "descriptive" practice rather than a "prescriptive" one. This morphs into a great discussion about writing and storytelling. What's the difference between "telling a story" and "building a narrative"?
For the creative challenge, David is tasked with using a blind eel to navigate the web of a dead man's brain, in search of secrets.
