It's summer reading time, so for this month's playlist we're featuring episodes from the archive with authors talking about their (then) new books: Eric Schwitzgebel, author of The Weirdness of the World; Helen de Cruz, author of Wonderstruck: How Wonder and Awe Shape the Way We Think; David Chalmers, author of Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy; Andy Clark, author of The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality; and David Edmonds, author of Parfit: A Philosopher and His Mission to Save Morality. On June 9 we're also broadcasting our annual Summer Reading List. This year's episode spotlights new books that take deep dives into TV, film, and popular culture.
