Escape Pod 987: In the Palace of Science (Part 1 of 2) Track One– If you’ve found this recording, two things can be said for certain. The first is that I have passed my greatest test as a man and, in doing so, have passed from this world.

Merry endweek, sapients! This time we have for you part 1 of 2 of "In the Palace of Science", by @chriscampbell.bsky.social. An added benefit: you can sing the title to the tune of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!" 🎵🎵🎵

How far would you go to save the only person you’ve ever known?
Do you like philosophy, time travel, and fortune cookies?

My novella SUM is about Matt, the world’s most advanced AI. He likes time travel and heavy metal. And of course, a good idiom.
