It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton · Author Interview: Andrea Chapela · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

I think it's there.

But this is a story.

The strange thing about this story is anyone who has come to the city or has grown up in the city knows about that.

But also you grow up in a city that has all those layers inside it, right?

Like you don't know...

That you are walking on something that was from another civilization before and that is part of you and it isn't at the same time.

And I don't know how much of this I thought.

It's a lot that I have thought through the years because I always have this fantasy of returning and writing something longer in that setting.

But what I always come back to is, yes, it's like modern day.

What we believe is staying somehow has disappeared the same way that ancient civilizations have disappeared for us.

And then you have to rebuild and decide what stays and what goes.

And I think that's an interesting relationship, especially right now when it happens.

It seems both that we are on the end of something, but also that our time is going to be eternal.

Like I think those two feelings are in the world right now, that it could never end capitalism and the way of life, but also that we're on the verge of something.

And I think putting the story in the future after some kind of collapse where life continues, where there is the possibility of two girls having a date.

Even if there was a big collapse, even if everything ended and it restarted.

I think I knew more of the themes, but I have kept thinking about them and about how it is a hopeful story, even if it's about the end of our world in some way.

I have kept exploring it.

I have a novel.

It came out in Spanish last year called Todos los fines del mundo, which I think roughly would translate like all those ends of the world or all the ends of the world.
