About this listen

Coffee. Questions. Catastrophes—politely discussed.

A future-person named Pffffft turns up in a university hallway, and a professor invites them for a cup. What follows are brisk, caffeinated chats about intergalactic ecology, culture wars fought with "Acceptance," a hostile slime of the stars, and a custodial firm that tidies orbits by removing the ability to make messes. The tone is bright, the chapters are short, and the ideas are wild yet clear. Part comic philosophy, part cozy sci-fi, this book lets you eavesdrop as two people test reality.

Coffee Chats with a Future-Person is speculative fiction for listeners who have thought about what "home" means when the universe is very large. It is warm, wry, and hopeful, even when the topics are not. Listen to one chatter, look out the window, and notice the world again.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Short, lively "chatters" that sip big ideas in small pours
  • Cosmic field notes: from intergalactic ecology to twin Earths
  • A foam-bright predator and other hazards that make architecture feel edible
  • Cozy campus vibes, comic philosophy, and quietly hopeful science fiction

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
