It's the unluckiest numbered episode of your favorite podcast about beer, geekery, and everything in-between! In this installment, buff your sci-fi reading list with Matt and Marcel's low-brow-pretending-to-be-high-brow novel selections.

Things will get interesting as Frank Herbert is worshipped and then discarded, IPAs are reviewed (warning: faux-PAs might come up), and Ian M Banks novels are stolen.

Tune in for more beer, more geekery, and the answer to the question: Why is the world a dystopian hellscape?

Warning: Spoilers ahead!
