Story
Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' was published when she was 20 years old, but it is more than just a precocious book of early science fiction. In Episode 3 of The Book Club, Amit Varma explains how Shelley fearlessly tackled big themes, and delved as deep into human nature as the best literature of the time. Her book gave birth to many tropes that still exist – and showed an ambition that has since characterised the best writing in a genre she helped create.

Story
We often think in binaries: something either happened, or it did not. But a far better way to look at the world is through PROBABILISTIC THINKING. This is also how we should evaluate the most important decision in Mahendra Singh Dhoni's career. Listen in for the full dope!

Story
Published in 1792, The Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft is not just a pioneering work of feminism, but also a step forward for political philosophy in general. Amit Varma explains how it drove liberalism forward with its argument, radical at the time, that human rights extended to all humans, and not just to men.

Public discourse has become toxic, and there is no better illustration of this than snark. We don't talk to people any more, we mock. We don't engage any more, we ridicule. In episode 7 of The Book Club, Amit Varma speaks about 'Snark', David Denby's prescient book about the degeneration of our conversations.

What is the purpose of the law? What should be the role of the state? Are we subjects or citizens? In episode 6 of The Book Club, Amit Varma argues that we have normalised oppression by the state, and we need to examine it anew with clear eyes. There is no better guide to this than Frédéric Bastiat's 19th-century masterpiece, 'The Law.'
