Sci-fi author John Scalzi on SpaceX and Elon Musk: "Space travel is elitist"
John Scalzi is an award-winning science fiction author of many, many novels, including his latest work, The Last Emperox, available on (virtual) bookshelves now. He joins Inverse Happy Hour to discuss the final book of the Interdependency trilogy and why, strangely enough, his story about the collapse of a once-great empire didn't start out as a metaphor for our current times.
“There’s lots of politics, lots of personality conflicts, some explosions, some lasers, spaceships — you know, all the good stuff,” he tells Inverse.
