In this episode of THIS IS THE AUTHOR meet astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, bestselling author Ryan North, and venture capitalist Bradley Tusk. Go from space exploration to start-ups, as each of these authors explores the surprising intersection of seemingly-unrelated things: science and military power, history and science, and politics with tech, and business. Plus, hear one author’s plan to gain an invite to Patrick Stewart’s birthday party. Enjoy
