Nick Rallo talks about writing a novel, his transition into journalism, exploding himself on the page, getting to write about Chili's, stealing the Merck Manual from a library, not caring whether people read his work on their wrist or projected on the moon, trusting that he is good enough to finish the thing, the first sound the aliens hear, writing about artificial intelligence, and wanting the career path of Ninja Turtle.
