Episode notes

I feel like the a v part of it is like a little absent, i think it is. I can't say a was, like, i've been blown away by it. Even if you feel pretty confident in your in your knowledge about avis, it's a really tough subject to feel confident about. No one knows how it's all going to shake out and how its ll to be seen historically. It's often better to omit than to commit.

Given the technology's transformative potential, there is a surprising dearth of quality Science Fiction written about autonomous vehicles. Into that breach steps Patrick McGinty, whose upcoming novel "Test Drive" explores important themes related to AVs as it follows the lives of three test drivers in a climate crisis-stricken Pittsburgh of the near future. McGinty joins the gang to discuss his excellent new fiction, discuss a wide variety of topics, and make the case for renaissance in AV-related SciFi.
