DD 436: The Tiffany Problem - When Reality is too real for Speculative Fiction

It's pretty well established that truth is stranger than fiction, but what do you do when the facts are literally too unlikely for a reader to swallow?

This week Jules and Madeleine examine this phenomenon, follow a trail through some examples and finally, offer suggestions for how to counter it while still being accurate in your storytelling.    Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic
