There's really interesting contrast of the different attitudes that people have towards this technology. And i think one of the things that's amazing about fiction is you can take things that are real, and re contextalize them. Eause hat was oneof things at really resonated for me.
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.
