Pebble in the Sky is a fantastic example of how sci-fi examines important questions by moving them out of their normal context, so that they can be seen in a new light. In our first episode on this volume of the Galactic Empire Trilogy, we focus on themes like the struggles of the immigrant, the plight of the marginalized, and the ways in which value is ascribed to human life.Also, be sure to check out the fine podcasts we are featuring in this episode's ad rolls:
