Yesss! It's not just us. Read this book, tune into our discussion!
I can't recommend enough Traveling to Mars by Mark Russell (@manruss.bsky.social) and Roberto Meli. A stunningly gorgeous and touching story about everything that matters.
It's easy to recommend anything written by Mark Russell though. His work became a must read for me thanks to Prez!

“It could be that our collective fate will be… a letter to the universe no one will ever read.”
Last week on Storied Arcs, we discussed Traveling to Mars by @manruss.bsky.social & Roberto Meli, focusing on loneliness, quiet satire, and a future that keeps moving.
