Summary

The writer of The Martian and Project Hail Mary proudly calls himself a “Hank Green-ist.” Andy and Hank talk about why the present is always better than the past, the state of science fiction today, the impact of AI on collective entertainment, and Andy explains why he has a huge problem with zombie stories. Plus, Andy shares how Hank’s responsible for the very last edit made to Project Hail Mary.  Got a question or a comment?
