From the Jedi Order to the Torturers’ Guild: Science Fiction’s Preoccupation with Monks in Space

Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award–winning author Max Gladstone has been thrown from a horse in Mongolia and once wrecked a bicycle in Angkor Wat. He is the author of many books, including Last Exit, Empress of Forever, the Craft Sequence of fantasy novels and, with Amal El-Mohtar, the viral New York Times bestseller This Is How You Lose the Time War. His dreams are much nicer than you’d expect.
