If you’ve watched my show for a little while you might remember this video about 1984 and the way knowledge and justice intersect? Well Medina’s book is about that too, about how privilege and oppression shape the production of knowledge and ignorance.

2017-08-18 21:08:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe Last Man is my favourite novel and it was a pleasure to re-read it! As the name implies it’s about the last human being on Earth, Lionel Verney, from birth to childhood, marriage, adulthood, to the plague that leaves him the sole surviving member of the human race.
