[032] Social Science Talks: Warhammer and The Eisenhorn Trilogy, by Dan Abnett
‘In the grim darkness of the far future…’
This month, we try and take on the Warhammer universe by reading the Eisenhorn Trilogy, by Dan Abnett. Does knowledge require being tempted by what you are studying? Is the rule of awesome a good enough setting for a universe? And where are the women? Join us as we discuss Eisenhorn, the Warhammer universe more widely, and whether shared universes are an interesting way of world building.
