At The Well is a new bonus series where we talk about the stories that shaped us. The books, films, shows and soundtracks we draw from when we sit down to build worlds together. Where our brains go when we’re improvising. This week, Lou leads a conversation about the science fiction that fuels us. From How Long ’Til Black Future Month? to Cowboy Bebop, from intimate character studies to galaxy-spanning epics, we dig into what sci-fi actually does. How it builds worlds. How it carries message. How it imagines futures that challenge, comfort, or warn us. Why the genre feels infinite.
