This week we chat with Jennifer Mandula about her book The Geomagician, a historical fantasy novel that explores the life of pioneering paleontologist Mary Anning and a dinosaur that comes to life, all within an alternate magical England. This book explores issues of female empowerment and the tension between science and religion as well as offering up a little romance.
For our book rec segment of the show, we’re discussing AI books.
