About this listen

When the æristocracy decides to withdraw their blimps from the Venusian economy and head back to an abandoned Earth, the surf-turned-æristocrat Sir Thomas begins tearing down their entire economy in order to save millions of lives.

A dystopian sci-fi about class warfare, The Blimps of Venus shows us the true motives behind eugenics and other evils.

"Schaubert's narratives are emotionally stirring with both a vulnerable sensibility and rawness to them. They take you on a journey full of open wounds, intimate successes, and personal delights. His words have a calmness, a natural ease, but the meaning is always commanding and dynamic." (Natalie Gee, Brooklyn Film Festival)
