Hello and thanks for doing this Q and A. 1. I’m looking forward to the Great Cities trilogy, but as the name implies, books two and three will be about cities other than New York. Can you tell us which ones? 2. Would you ever write a series longer than a trilogy? I kind of want to read a longer series from you, but anything you write will be as great as your existing books, so no complaints either way.

Will I need to brush up on my plate tectonics to read this one?! Seriously, your first trilogy was heavily scientific sci/fi. I loved it, but getting into the wholly new world was hard, especially as I let too much time lag between the books. Does this new series demand as much from the reader, and is this a concern to you as the author?

Why did you decide to use the second person in the Broken Earth? Did anyone try to dissuade you? I thought it was an incredibly profound use of a little used point of view. Can you talk about any challenges you faced trying to making those sections into the effective and moving parts that they are?
