Swing-and-a-miss weinersmith.

Caveats were stated I'm gonna have kelly do all of the real work

A few weeks on, I had one that he liked it's a goide to future technologies. Deeply researched, but with comics and stuff to lighten it up

Thats probably best for everybody

Gimme/

Time later, we had a a remarkably short book deal and a firm deadline what have we done?

Kids, work and infinite research we worked night and day, juggling from early 2015 to late 2016, how in gods if we don't pay well name do miss something, and these technical be made to feel books cost nerd shame

At times, it was fun. So that's how a josephson junction works!

At times, it was weird that one guy we talked to who had a nobel prize. He made a pretty strong case for legal organ markets.

No selling your kidneys

Youre always holding me back! E

At times, it was painful ive reached a point in my life where I no longer want to learn any more obscure methods for space launch

At times it was really panful whyd you agree this hand did a to draw 100 lot of bad things comics for this it needs to be book while punished also doing smbc?

So what, you're dead?

But, at last, we finished the manuscript. Can we become alcoholics now?

No we have children

And theyre always holding me back!

This book took every skill we had from drawing to explaining dirty nerd jokes! How microrna can be used to detect cancer

I have always felt fortunate to have readers who are willing to try out something new with me.

And drawing dirty dork jokes!

To explaining why scramjets are hard to build!

Theyre buying single-use monocles?

Or. If you think I'm maybe biased because I wrote it (or because I loood money) here are some nice things people have said about it:

"Basically, think this book is masterpiece. and something wish I'd written myself." SCOTT AARONSON

"Space elevators, gold asteroids, and usion-powered toasters who knew science could be so much fun? And who knew fun could be so scientific? "Soonish' hilarious, provocative, and shamelessly informative. TIM HARFORD

"Playful, vet deep. -- GEORGE CHURCH

"i

love this book so much 3D printed myself second heart so) could love it more." PHIL PLAIT

"Kelly and Zach promised me crystal ball, but what got both more insightful and far more entertaining than staring into dumb glass orb. Soonish will make you laugh and without you even realizing give you insight into the most ambitious technological feats of our time. You should read this book, sooner than soonish. ALEXIS OHANIAN

And t promise, only one of them was coerced.
