The same show touched on religious texts and commentaries, with Sheamus discussing the Book of Revelation alongside Desmond A. Birch's massive text 'Trial, Tribulation & Triumph' and recommending Taylor Marshall's 'Antichrist and Apocalypse'. The Lex Fridman Podcast turned to speculative and postmodern works, where George Hotz spoke about David Foster Wallace's 'Infinite Jest'—focusing on its premise of a compulsive, endlessly watched tape—and Roger Williams's 'The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect' alongside its sequel, 'A Casino Odyssey in Cyberspace'. Finally, on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, host Ben referenced Susie Smith's book 'prominent American Ghost' while examining the historical origins of psychic stories surrounding the Winchester mansion.
