**Getting Chatty with Jonathan Nolan: The Futurist’s Guide to Tech and Storytelling**
I’m still reeling from my conversation with Jonathan Nolan, and I’m not just talking about the mind-blowing ideas he shared with me on The Huge Interview podcast. The co-creator of Westworld and executive producer of Fallout is a master of foresight, and it was like getting a sneak peek into his crystal ball. From the impending doom of social media to his own doomsday bunker plans (more on that later!), Jonathan dropped knowledge like a futuristic news anchor.
As we chatted, I found myself nodding along to his candid views on the future of tech and storytelling. Spoiler alert: he’s not a fan of most social media (who is, really?), but he thinks AI might just be the game-changer for aspiring filmmakers trying to break into the industry. Yeah, he’s a glass-half-full kind of guy, and I’m here for it.
So, what did we talk about, you ask? Well, let me give you a sneak peek…
**Tearing Apart Sci-Fi Tropes**
When I asked Jonathan about the overused sci-fi tropes that make us facepalm, he didn’t mince words. “Sooner-than-light travel,” he said with a chuckle. “Because it’s a story crutch.” I pressed him for more, and he broke it down: yes, they’d used it in Interstellar, but only as a means to serve the plot. “It’s still a way to skip the boring bits,” he noted with a wink.
