Earlier this week, Amber Case — author, design advocate, and cyborg anthropologist (yes, I said cyborg anthropologist!) — joined me for some 5AM StoryTalk. You can listen to that here if you haven’t already. Today, she returns for a bonus episode exclusive to my rockstar paid subscribers whose support keeps the lights on here. We’ll be discussing a foundational piece of art from her life — the iconic, just brilliant film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) written by Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick and directed by Kubrick.
This part of my conversation with Amber is very much a continuation of the feature episode. What I mean is, it’s less a cinematic breakdown and more of a breakdown of the culture that produced the film and then…changed (and, of course, Amber’s personal experience of all that). If you’re a science geek, a design nerd, or a cinephile, this bonus episode is for you.
If you’d like to hear more from Amber, but aren’t yet a paid subscriber yourself, you can upgrade now for $6 US a month or $60 a year. For that, you get full access to hundreds of articles and educational resources for screenwriters, arts seminars where you can seek direct help from me, and all of my podcast episodes — including bonus episodes — weeks, sometimes months earlier than you would if you subscribed to me at, say, Apple or Spotify. Most importantly, you help keep this independent media experiment alive with your support - thank you!
And don’t forget to listen to the first part of my conversation with Amber!
