Science fiction can often seem to be pure imaginative fantasy, but many authors are more fluent in real science than many readers and viewers may realize. Professor Charles L. Adler of St. Mary’s College of Maryland was the perfect choice for this subject, as he is both a longtime science-fiction fan and a real-world scientist. Professor Adler’s talent for using literature to shine a light on science - both the accurate and not-so-accurate versions employed by creators, spanning two centuries - makes this course a great survey for fans of both science fact and science fiction.

Nothing is sacred, no subject off-limits, and most importantly, nothing is contrived.

Written by videogame industry veteran Chris Baker—who spent three years at LucasArts himself—the audiobook collects several long pieces he has written on the subject in recent years: some for Rolling Stone's Glixel.com in 2017, one for YouTube channel Superhero.VG, and another reflecting upon his time at LucasArts.

Author’s NoteLaughter is one of the most misunderstood gifts we carry. We often treat it as weightless —something spontaneous, harmless, and free of consequence. We assume it arrives without responsibility. Yet laughter is powerful. It can bridge strangers, soften grief, dissolve tension, and remind us —sometimes urgently —that we are still alive. But it can also wound quietly. It can expose vulnerability without consent. It can cross lines we only recognize once we are standing on the other side of them. This book was born in that tension. Prank Everyone Except the Dead is not a manual.

Una Superestrella de la Comedia is a performance of one-liners and musical numbers in the form of Luis Álvaro’s fast-paced mental reflections on the absurdities of life. The Spanish comedian’s plays on words and absurd characterizations of the world around him are like watching Steven Wright on fast-forward, but with the addition of piano, guitar, and the artist’s signature stuttering style. Luis Álvaro can and will ruminate on anything, which makes pinpointing a single joke from Una Superestrella de la Comedia almost impossible.
