Relics by Michael Jan Friedman

I don’t remember much about the episode. But I had listened to a couple episodes where Friedman talked about writing the book under a quick deadline. I liked how Friedman found room on the episode to expand the story.
And it’s a fun story. It made me think about aging, surviving—surviving after surviving, what do we do after we cheat death, how do we deal with living beyond usefulness, how do we treat those who we see as living beyond their time...
And this is a good Scotty story too! Plenty of tight drama in sweaty engine rooms.
My only criticism is that I feel Scotty focused a lot on women’s appearances. This may be in Scotty’s character but I wanted someone to call him on it. It seemed that Scotty was a relic of the 1960s. At least someone could ask him to stop calling grown women “lass.”
