About this episode

Phil Rot returns to discuss his new book 'The Moon Is Gay' and various topics including his writing process and societal themes.

Phil Rot is back! After winning the Nobel Prize in Physics for his micronovel The Raft, Phil is gearing up for another Nobel with his newly-released The Moon Is Gay. Besides having maybe the best book title of all time, it is also a brave, timely, elegiac, lyrical, epochal, and moving account of camgirl diplomacy in a fast-paced, competitive, ultra-convenient, AI-enabled Amazon future. It also features gay moon werewolves. Phil and I got to talk about mole people, tunnels, Phil's writing process, why the poor can't produce great art, Phil's real name (Philip Roth), and a whole lot more.
