Deus Ex Machina.

God from the machine.

Writing tool? Or something we should avoid?

Paddy, James, and Phoenix dive into this very topic in this episode of Prose and Cons.

Like with most genres and writing “rules,” it helps to do your research so you can properly be in conversation with the thing you’re trying to talk about or use—you have to learn the rules to break them, and in the case of Deus Ex Machina A T-REX COMES CRASHING THROUGH THE WALL AND ENDS THE PODCAST DESCRIPTION!

Jimmy was walking to school one day when he tripped over a rock and fell. With a jolt, Jimmy woke up from the dream only to remember that he never walks to school.

What does this passage mean?!?!

Does Jimmy represent the US empire falling only to wake up and realise the empire was all just a dream? An illusion of power?

Could be! But is it what the author intended? Or is it just what you felt while reading? Is it an allegory? Or are we simply applying the story to our lives?

This is exactly what James, Paddy, and Phoenix dissect in this episode of Prose and Cons.
