This week's podcast is mostly about a BBC article on Hieroglyph, a collaborative project between scientists and science-fiction writers that was inspired by the Neal Stephenson article "Innovation Starvation." Basically, this is a call to create fewer dystopian novels, and more positive sci-fi ideas that can help inspire the scientists of tomorrow. More or less.    We also read some fan letters (email us at threepercentpodcast@gmail.com), rave about Utopia and rant about film crews.    Finally, just a reminder that we'll be discussing Roberto Bolaño's A Little Lumpen Novelita later this month, and we'd love to hear your thoughts about the book. Email us by September 24th with any questions, comments, thoughts, and we'll incorporate them into our discussion.
