Possible Worlds and Other Stories with Rachel Handley

My guest this week is Rachel Handley, a teaching fellow in philosophy at Trinity college Dublin, and author of a recent collection of sci-fi short stories entitled Possible Worlds and Other Stories. The book is a fun exercise in multiverse building that scratches that meta-itch a lot of us have, but it also has some lovely touching human moments. We discuss why possible worlds are having a moment, the gendered history of possible worlds, and a few of Rachel's possible worlds that I enjoyed so much.
