In this week’s Story x Story episode Nigel and Tazziii welcome author and The Koalition journalist, Gary Swaby for a deep dive into sci-fi adventure Minority Report. We look at how well this 2002 vision of future technology holds up in 2021 and discuss some big themes and the ethics of convicting people in the present for future actions.

This week’s story tip is about implementing exposition though conflict and characters.
