What book are you reading at the moment ?

Finally on Wind and Truth after waiting so long for a special to pop up.

Been away too long…taking a moment to settle back into the lore and how it all works.

The bestselling author is stepping behind the scenes as a producer on Audible's Exoplanet, a full-cast sci-fi audio drama starring Anthony Mackie, Ariana DeBose and John Leguizamo. And as it turns out, the project has been a long time coming.

"Before I even wrote The Martian, I was really into radio plays," Weir confessed to SYFY Wire. "I got really into it for a while, listening to The Shadow and all these other old school plays, and thought to myself, ‘I could make one of these. All I need is a microphone.’ But I'm also really lazy, so I never did it."

All of that changed when Audible asked him to produce an audio drama, presenting him with several pitches from different authors. However, one story from award-winning novelist and comic book writer Benjamin Percy immediately stood out.

"It was a bake-off, so-to-speak,” Weir recalled. "Ben’s story was head and shoulders above the rest...It wasn't just open-up-the-pantry-and-pull-out-some-sci-fi-tropes-and-mix-them-together. This is like three different people on a planet inconsistently communicating through time. It was a very unique story, and that's what I like most as a consumer of entertainment, is unpredictability."

This could be good.
