  • Summary

  • If a tree falls in space, can anyone hear you scream when it falls on you? Trick question - there's no trees in space, not to mention that space is technically flat so you're on the same plane as the tree and who knows which did the falling? With that whole facehugger-and-egg analogy in mind, we're joined in this episode by The Australia Institute's Senior Economist, Matt Grudnoff to talk about Matt's favourite film, Alien, the 1979 masterpiece that defined science fiction blockbusters forever after. It also reminds us that even in the 1970s people could tell capitalism was going to produce an inter-stellar hellscape for workers.

    Yesterday's Tomorrow Today is sponsored by the Carmichael Centre within the Centre for Future Work at The Australia Institute.
