This week we're talking about the pervasive mediocrity in modern sci-fi. All Systems Red is a multi-award winning piece of reasonably good--although uncreative--science fiction from 2017 which inspired Rudy to read a book he thought it was cribbing off of: Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

What Rudy discovered terrified him.
