2 How Did People in the 19th Century Respond to Science and the Apocalypse
The launch of Elon Musk's Falcon Heavy rocket brought the world a sense of excitement reminiscent of the Apollo program. In this episode, we look back at how intellectuals and the public in both China and the West during the Victorian era (i.e., the late Qing Dynasty) a century ago responded to the impact of modern science and space discoveries on life, and how these responses were recorded in literary form.
