Ryan North Interview With StarTrekBookClub.com
This week’s conversation is with Ryan North, author of the current Fantastic Four series, Adventure Time comics, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Lower Decks (2022), Shaxs’ Best Day, and the upcoming Lower Decks: Warp Your Own Way and Lower Decks (2024). A slight disclaimer, I’ve actually been emailing Ryan for years and years, he ran an advertising system named “Project Wonderful” that was indeed wonderful and I loved it very much. It’s not around now though and that makes me sad.
Our conversation roams from his fantastic work on the first Lower Decks mini series, then moves to how to build a choose your own adventure type of story. Turns out that the upcoming Trek story isn’t his first attempt at this!
Back in 2018 he wrote “How To Invent Everything” and we talk about how frustrating it would be to time travel without knowing how anything actually works. He was so frustrated with this idea he went out and wrote a book that would let any stray traveler of time jump start the wheels of invention and get you back to the style of civilization that you were previously accustomed to. Some of that lead to what I personally call “hated knowledge” which is when you learn so much about something that’s broken that you hate knowing all that. For me it’s a carpet cleaner that I’ve taken apart 50 times and could fix in the dark. That kind of experience leads to learning how to take things apart and trouble shoot and is actually a good thing, but I still hate it. .
I ask him if he’d be able to write a lower decks literature book and his answer will shock you! (he said yes and it would be a blast to do)
We finish up our conversation by talking about Eaglemoss’s spaceship subscription program that we both got pulled into and I give one final plug for my fishtank that’s on twitch (and has a crashed 1701A in it).
