We are back after a month-long hiatus! We discuss Olaf Stapledon's 'Sirius', a book about a human-level-intelligence dog, set in the 1930s and 1940s. The book came out in 1944 and explores what it means to be human, and the challenges for a true outsider to fit into human society, especially when he has no society of his own. Next books: Leviathan Falls by James SA Corey and The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.
