In this episode, I dive into a fascinating conversation with Ben Paris, an experienced NASA consultant and science museum executive director. We explore his work, including his novel 'Mars Armor Forged' and the complexities of human colonization on Mars. Ben shares his thoughts on political intrigue, the potential of synesthetic heroes in fiction, and the future of humanity in the face of AI and declining birth rates. Whether you're a sci-fi aficionado or just curious about our celestial prospects, this episode is packed with insights and compelling ideas.
Books of his we discuss: Mars: Armor Forged, Wade of Aquataine
