Elaine Bougie asked Ben H. Winters:

Did you feel prescient, this week, as the asteroid/former comet nicknamed Spooky made a pass outside the moon's orbit (and another is predicted to pass by at about the same distance as the moon? I was reading Countdown City this week and that coincidence sharpened my reading experience.

Ben H. Winters It's weird, isn't it? I don't feel prescient, only because this kind of stuff is always zipping around the atmosphere. If one ever ends up on a collision course with Earth, I bet I'll get a lot of free publicity for my books...which won't do me much good when the world ends.
