Скачать или смотреть Philosophy and Science Fiction

In this video I read out the first of my twenty science fiction short stories collected in 'A Better Ray Gun and Other Tales'.

From the back cover:

"Science fiction has always provided a rich resource for Philosophy. What is different about this collection of twenty short sci-fi stories is that were all written by a Philosopher. They cover every aspect of science fiction. All the familiar 'tropes' are here - with a twist - but these tales are designed to make you think as much as to entertain. They will overturn your expectations, undermine your easy-going assumptions and hopefully make you see the world and yourself differently. Which is all that philosophy sets out to do. Have fun!"
