#1.14 - J.W. Rinzler: on Reaching for the Stars - the "All Up" Author and Sci-Fi Historian on Imagining the Impossible - with guest co-host Juhi Khemani
JW Rinzler is the prolific author of numerous "making of" books, including his acclaimed The Making of Alien. He spent 15 years working as Lucasfilm's resident historian, and in July he released his first novel, All Up, which chronicles the rise of the Space Age with a mixture of fact, humor, and fantasy. Juhi Khemani joins John to talk to Rinzler about his work, Star Wars, Alien, why we should take the idea of (actual) aliens seriously, and how great science fiction can define a generation, reveal our humanity, and inspire us to get to space.
