Myth Button asked Edward Ashton:

Dropping by to say congrats. I heard about the movie adaptation of Mickey7. And Bong Joon-Ho's directing it! He's the biggest director outside of America. I gotta ask, what did he say to about what he loved about Mickey7? Because so far I've only been able to find Three Days in April, which I thought was a brilliant satire of the cyberpunk end of A.I. Still, what did BJH say to you about it?

Edward Ashton I think the main reason Director Bong connected with Mickey7 is that he and I have a lot of convergent interests. In particular, I think he and I share a penchant for using humor to lighten stories with very dark themes, as well as an interest in using SF as a vehicle for commentary/criticism of contemporary society.

Dave asked Edward Ashton:

Hello Mr. Aston. I appreciated the solid physics base woven into your highly entertaining story. There was a reference to Coriolis effect that I didn't understand - when Micky7 is riding the rotating band girdling the ship (or dome) that was meant to induce the effect of gravity, he's grateful the C effect doesn't bring up his lunch. I don't understand how the C effect would dominate this. Mostly centrifugal force?
