There's no faster-than-light travel, no crazy artificial gravity or
dopey aliens. It's just people like us, in an actually possible world.
Honestly, it's great. So I was excited to get a chance to talk to the
showrunner of <em>The Expanse</em>, Naren Shankar—who, I have to mention, has a PhD in applied physics."
