	Description:		This week, we chat with Neal Shusterman, author of the new Arc of the Scythe series, the 2015 National Book Award-winning young adult novel 'Challenger Deep,' and more. Join us as we chat about utopia vs. dystopia, writing about mental health, and advice for young writers. Neal recommends 'Black Mirror.' "For TV, I just finished the new season of 'Black Mirror' which is my favorite TV show. That series hits me where I live." He also recommends 'Dear Evan Hansen.' "I saw 'Dear Evan Hansen' back in September and I can't stop listening to it." And finally, he recommends the 'Tron: Legacy' soundtrack by for writing. "It really, really sets the mood for any science fiction story." MJ recommends diving into the archives of The Awl, in light of the news that the website is shutting down. He especially suggests you check out the site's "weather reviews" series, which provides literary inspired reviews of the previous days weather. He also recommends Jia Tolentino's ode to The Awl, "The end of The Awl and the vanishing of freedom and fun from the internet."
