This sci-fi themed episode of Quiet Please was recommended to us by our Patreon supporter Lance. Thanks, Lance! Appropriate to the story’s title, “The Pathetic Fallacy” is the story of a scientist who has created a machine capable of computing fantastically complex mathematical problems, but the device seems to willfully be making errors. Soon the public is more interested in the machine’s apparently human-like behavior than its computing power! Is the machine truly alive? Are the scientist and press just indulging in the pathetic fallacy? Do podcast hosts have “real” feelings? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Does “The Pathetic Fallacy” stand the test of time?

I’m glad that you all enjoyed it overall. I was worried I over hyped it when I sent it in.
