This 1959 sci-fi/post-apocalyptic novel by Walter Miller is an absolute classic and a must read! Check out this episode for some of my thoughts on why that is.

NOTE: This episode contains brief discussion on the immensely sensitive and important topic of suicide. Additionally, I misspoke in the video/podcast referring to the author as Walter J. Miller. I meant Walter M. Miller, Jr. Mea culpa!
