Writers Kelly and Zach Weinersmith take an illuminating and humorous look at emerging technological innovations, and how they can potentially help and harm us. Their graphic book on this topic is called Soonish. Some of the new science we discuss includes augmented reality, space elevators, asteroid mining, and more. The Weinersmiths are an unlikely couple and that’s what makes them so darn interesting. She’s a professor at Rice University specializing in parasites; he’s a cartoonist. They’re both self-professed science nerds fascinated with future technology. This is a replay of an interview Jonathan did with them in 2019.
