Master Lecture Series: History of the 3rd Robot War by Recent Cutbacks

This fully dramatized audiobook sells itself as a Great Courses parody, but it’s really more of a college classroom parody in which alien races of the far future try to reconstruct a legendary past (our time) in which they clearly think that things like the Lord of the Rings books and the Star Wars movies are actually documenting real events. It’s humorous, but not great—although perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I had caught more of the references to pop culture that are liberally strewn throughout the book.
