What if it was the Earth… but different? This week, Nate and Ryan discuss new TVs, water parks, and alternate earth stories. That discussion culminates in The Calculating Stars, a book by Mary Robinette Kowal in which they discuss the possibility of social change, being just the character the story needs, and the science in science fiction.
