Start the Week: Hari Kunzru and Dystopia - 17 June 2013

This episode focused on Hari Kunzru and his dystopian novella, Memory Palace, where books and the act of remembering have been banned. Jane Rogers explained how her apocalyptic tale may be set in the future but points to today's abuse of scientific knowledge and the heroism of youth. James Robertson spoke about his latest novel which explores grief, justice and the truth, and the photographer Adam Broomberg asked how far images of war capture the truth.
