Description
Edward Ashton, the author of Mickey7, walked into a rabbit hole of questions from us as we dissected the book. Ashton discusses how he came up with the idea, the scientific details behind many underlying layers in the novel, and why being "expendable" is necessary as it preserves more valuable people on the planet yet comes with great sacrifice. In addition to going into details about the new planet, Niflheim, the colonization process, and creepers -- Ashton spends the time going over the intricacies that made it a must-read (can not put it down) book. Additionally, we discuss Ashton's call when he found out that his adaptation was going into pre-production, the cast announcements, including Robert Pattinson playing Mickey7, and the one thing he spoke to Bong Joon-ho (director of the adaptation/film) that had to remain in the movie.
