Annalee Newitz & Charlie Jane AndersIn the latest episode of our Elon In Power series, we’re joined by sci-fi authors and Our Opinions Are Correct co-hosts Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders to dig into how science fiction shaped Elon Musk, and how Musk uses it to shape his own mythology.

SCIFI SNAKEp. 119: Annalee Newitz, The TerraformersThe Terraformers blev udgivet i 2023. Bogen tager et stærkt afsæt i miljø og klimamæssige problemstillinger, men bruger en fantastisk setting. Bogen blev nomineret til en Nebula Award for bedste roman i 2024.
I The Terraformers støder vi på et samfund af terraformers, som arbejder med at forberede et jordisk paradis på den private planet Sask-E for firmaet Verdance. Terraformerne er vidt forskellige. Nogle er robotter, nogle stærkt modificerede Homo Sapiens, nogle er elge (!).
