I like how the output from these things always feels like a fifth grader who’s trying to bullshit through a report on a book they absolutely did not read.
It's probably also in his will, along with the creation of the John Scalzi Memorial Golden Burrito Award For Excellence in Science Fiction or Burrito Making.
I love the idea of an award like this. "I'm sorry, you wrote a heck of a great SF novel and deserve all the possible awards but someone made a burrito with shrimp, hot dogs and Oreos. We HAVE to give them the Scalzi"
I was curious about the burrito bar thing, did some searching, and was shown this Rolling Stone article from 2016 about you looking for your quote in No Man's Sky. I hadn't known about it (the article). I've been playing NMS since launch so this was a fun discovery. It's a rather different game now.
