Every book Mike Judge recommended on podcasts
Mike Judge appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss a wide array of topics, including modern environmental issues and unusual ecological phenomena, while referencing notable non-fiction works. While talking about the unexpected and problematic behaviors of feral hogs, Judge mentioned Neal Stephenson's near-future novel Termination Shock. Later in the conversation, he brought up Jared Diamond's widely read book Guns, Germs, and Steel. Judge referenced Diamond's work to illustrate how human actions have historically wreaked havoc on animal populations and delicate ecosystems, specifically highlighting Australia as a prominent example of environmental degradation caused by human activity. By integrating these literary references into the conversation, Judge connected contemporary ecological concerns with established scientific and speculative frameworks.
