Andrew asked Lawrence Wright:

What stories do you have after publishing Going Clear? Did the church of Scientology reach out to you or try and intimidate you in any way? Also, go one Joe Rogan and talk about Scientology.

Lawrence Wright I continued to write about terrorism, mainly for The New Yorker. I published a collection called "The Terror Years" that contains many of those pieces. I love theater, and I wrote a play about the making of the movie "Cleopatra," in which Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are the main characters. I wrote a play, "Camp David," about the 1978 Carter-Begin-Sadat summit, and subsequently a book on the same subject. Then there was "God Save Texas," a nonfiction look at my native state. The latest is my novel "The End of October." Now looking for another project.

Jonathan asked Lawrence Wright:

Couldn't put it down! Rather than "just" a medical thriller, it's really a much richer portrayal of future threats – public health, kinetic war, cybersecurity, domestic social upheaval, etc. Hopefully the scenarios you portray in the book are far from our current reality, but does your experience researching and writing the novel lead you to worry about any similarly intertwined risks in our current moment?

Kaitlin J asked Lawrence Wright:

I was blown away at the caliber of your work in Going Clear. It was concise, fair, and incredibly well-researched. Would you be willing to do a similar investigation into the leaders of the Jehovah’s Witnesses?
