He received the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2016. Andy starts with an introduction and his background then onto how Andy started out with being an author and first attempts to break into the scene. Andy talks about his previous works, then about finding success with his hit novel, The Martian. They discuss the science behind the book, after which Andy talks about the pressure behind all the writing and fame. Later on we learn a little more about Andy’s work and plans after having finished his new book, Artemis. This episode was a short one, but it was damned good! We wish we could have had Andy on the show for longer (what an amazing bloke!), so you guys will have to settle for all the goodness we’ve got for you in this one. Enjoy!
