The Science in The Fiction
This is both a science and a science fiction podcast. We dig deep into the biggest ideas in science fiction, using science to elevate the conversation about sci-fi, and sci-fi to promote science education, curiosity and vision. We talk to science fiction authors about the science in their fiction, then talk to scientists about the same topic, and catalyze conversations between the two.

David Zindell on Mathematics in 'Neverness'
Marty and Holly sit down with David Zindell, author of Neverness, a book full of big ideas in a far future civilization where Master Pilots manipulate mathematical reality to fenester their ships through the spacetime manifold. We talk to David about his literary influences and his vision of a deep sci-fi future with philosophical and spiritual depth. We discuss philosophy, non-duality, consciousness and environmentalism in both Neverness and Kim Stanley Robinson's latest book The Ministry for the Future. Then we ruminate about mathematics, meaning, death and the afterlife, as well as our past and future selves.
