AI Summary

In an interview with /Film’s Jeremy Mathai, author Andy Weir said today that sci‑fi is now “never been more accepting,” moving beyond its former “nerd” niche to a mass audience. He argued that broader acceptance lets creators tell more serious, dramatic sci‑fi, which in turn “grows up” the genre. Weir pointed to the film adaptations of his books—Ridley Scott’s The Martian and the Phil Lord‑Christopher Miller‑directed Project Hail Mary—as examples that maintain scientific rigor and adult‑level detail in astronomy, physics, language and botany.
