While the latest episode (#42), of Beam Me Up doesn’t offer the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything, it does offer an unabridged reading of a short story by Canadian SF author Peter Watts. The story’s called Ambassador. A first contact tale about how bad-ass a species has to be to become a ‘spacefaring civilization’ – something that just might be a contradiction in terms.
