Musician Erik Harris joins me to talk about Alfred Bester's classic science fiction novel of revenge, redemption, and transcendence, The Stars My Destination (sometimes known as Tiger! Tiger!).

Electronic music, creative individualism, Bester's influential but troubled place within the science fiction genre, why science fiction is great, the layers to Bester's work, freedom, religion, sex, violence, evil and lots more interesting shit is discussed.
