This is definitely the weirdest interview we’ve ever done. David chatted with “world builder” Chris Wayan, talking about politics and creatures and ecosystems and everything else that goes into creating astonishingly intricate fictional worlds. “I build hippie utopias because others don’t,” he says. It is a good read.

I’ve been meaning to use the word “astonishing” more, I’m glad I fit it into that paragraph up there.
