I remember reading this book long ago, and particularly the scene of the martians getting destroyed by artillery shells, which is unique. All later representations (though I didn't hear the radio play, but I did see the 1953 movie that looks fantastic! ... for its time) make the aliens perfectly invulnerable, even to atomic bombs, while they did succumb to simple artillery shells - if they are big enough - in the original book. Which is remarkable, though I can't quite put my finger on what let to this. Btw, in terms of science fiction, I think that in 80 days around the world is underrated. It's a romp, pretty close to Roger Moore's portrail of James Bond in some ways, using actually existing technology like railroads, telegraph and steamships and makjng it tangible to the readers what thos all means, how it connects the world. It's science fiction, but in the present, not in the future. And it's a bit of a pity that we don't get more of that these days when technology is progressing just as fast and changing the world just as much.

Thank you Josh

Thank you for enlightening me, had no idea there was a difference to theatre and drama!

Oooh an interesting channel.

New friend here. You got me with the wonderful, 'Death of a Salesman.' Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this work & others. Cheers! 📚🎭🎬

What was your interpretation of the ‘hell’ or underground place? I found that confusing and I was lost. Was that a gateway to purgatory or something ? Because there was all the dead people there and time didn’t pass and all that. Idk I’d like to know what you thought . Great video

Dope video, I just finished reading it today. I noticed you said Edward Snowden instead of Howard Snowden. I made that same mistake a few times😂😂

The first view.

thank you, Josh. I appreciate your work

The first book of the set of 5 in the trilogy! Facts matter 😎😂🥰 Amazing book, some of the most profound philosophy available

Great video! Have you read The Hound of the Baskerville?

Great video

in regards to breast cancer, a metaphor that could negatively represent it in the eyes of misogyny is that it results from woman's refusal to engage sexually after a certain age, or that it would represent repressed sexual frustration due to being a full time mother or not engaging enough sexually, or that a person is infestile and thus the body is fighting itself. it might seem just misogynistic but those are very common arguments of people reacting to breast cancer as being the one of the very few cases in which the disease is fought against and healed from

Thanks for posting

A wonderful overview of the book! I am researching on AIDS history and Sontag's work made me think a lot. :)

The only boring parts to me are the descriptive sections , I’ve read this books several times over and I just skip past those parts …describing the turtle , the roads , cars in the car lot etc …those parts were pointless to me and I would’ve liked more focus on the actual characters….other than those parts I love it …Especially the home life back on Uncle Johns farm …those cars back then weren’t very big so I always find it hard to imagine fitting all of those people on a cut down Ford along with some furniture …I hate the family is always so greedy and commanding over someone else’s work which they didn’t contribute to creating and allowed the remake to happen
