## Resource

It's been a minute since we last spoke to Kim Stanley Robinson on the podcast, back in 2020 when The Ministry for the Future was new in the world. So today, Gary and Jonathan took some time to chat with Stan as part of the Advent Calendar about what he's been doing (a lot), what he's been reading (a lot!), and what he has coming up. Our discussion touched on first major nonfiction book, 2022's The High Sierra: A Love Story, his forthcoming nonfiction book The Best Journey in the World, and the fabulous news that he's hard at work on a new novel. As always, our thanks to Stan for making time to talk to us. We hope you all enjoy the discussion.
