Modern Times: Stealing Bread is a Crime?

So you saw someone steal bread and you're what, gonna tell the nearest cop? Cringe. We are back with another interlude episode and this week we are discussing the 1936 movie Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin! This is a movie all about the ways in which capitalism can move to benefit the wealthy while keeping down the poor. It deals with automation, labor strikes, police, and poverty all at the same time! We take the time to break down the plot, discuss the meaning. and finally give a review of the movie as a whole. We hope you enjoy and then join us back next week when Sydney will be starting a brand new series on The Captain and The Glory that you won't want to miss!

Player Piano Part 3: Finding Meaning

In this final part of our Player Piano series we are putting all the pieces together! With the context from Part 2 and the plot from Part 1, can we understand what this book is trying to say? Probably so, because Vonnegut certainly wasn't known for subtleties. In this part we analyze and interpret the book, talk about its relevance in the modern era of work, and also discuss how good it is generally! Does it stand up to other Vonnegut classics? Is it worth your time to read it? Find out all that and more on this installment of the Satire Fire!

Player Piano Part 2: Your CEO Hates You

Feel stuck in a deadend job in a deadend town with a deadend life? Well turns out, maybe that's because rich people hate you! In this episode we are looking at the historical context behind Player Piano by looking at the history of labor from before the Industrial Revolution right up until the book was written. Why so much talk about robots? What's the big deal with unemployment? Tune in to find out, then come back next week for Part 3 where we will use the context to give the book a final analysis!

Player Piano Part 1: The Rise of the Robots

We are back with a book that dares to ask the question "What if being unemployed is worse than going to work?" as we start our series on Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano! This book deals with an alternative version of America where human labor has been fully replaced with an automated world run by engineers and managers. It has a lot to say about labor, human dignity, how we find purpose, and much more! In this part we will be talking about the plot of the book, breaking it down in case you haven't read it or in case it has been a while since you read it. Then join us back next week for Part 2 where we will talk about the historical context of the book so it makes a little more sense!
