This episode features two different books by one author: Salman Rushdie. And while the two stories differ, recurrent themes of magical realism and the supernatural accompany them both. First, Rushdie, in a discussion of his book The Golden House, tells Ari Shapiro how escaping your past can lead to disillusionment And then, in an interview with Scott Simon about the fantasy elements in Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights, he says that to combine magic and realism, you need the ability to think and to dream.

Several thousand years ago, astronomers in the Middle East studying the night sky divided it into 12 equal regions. Each region was given a name, was associated with an animal and a constellation.  

These divisions became the basis for the nascent disciplines of astronomy and astrology.

Today, the system created by those ancient astronomers can still be found in the pseudoscience of horoscopes and the very much science of astronomy. 

Learn more about the zodiac and the signs of the zodiac, where they came from, and how they spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Since humans began to adopt writing systems, they also created systems for passing along written messages. 

For thousands of years, it would have been possible to get messages to distant parts of whatever empire or kingdom you happened to live in, provided you found the right courier and had enough money. 

Today, the entire globe is integrated into a connected postal system, allowing physical messages to be sent between almost any two people.

Learn more about mail and how our modern system has ancient roots on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
