Description

Here's the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: "HEY GEEKS, IT'S ZACH! SO, ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO, KELLY AND I RELEASED A POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK CALLED SOONISH."

Panel 2: "IT BECAME A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!"

Panel 3: "THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THE BOOK KNOW WE HAVE A WHOLE SECTION ON SUBJECTS WE DROPPED FOR VARIOUS REASONS. WHAT WE DIDN'T SAY IS THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD TO CUT A WHOLE FINISHED CHAPTER DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS."

Panel 4: "WE’RE JUST NOW LAUNCHING A $12 PAPERBACK EDITION, AND WE THOUGHT AS PART OF THAT WE’D SHARE… THE LOST CHAPTER. IT’S ABOUT ADVANCED CONCEPTS IN NUCLEAR REACTOR DESIGN, AND IT’S FREELY AVAILABLE TO ANYONE. JUST CLICK THIS LINK TO CHECK IT OUT."

Panel 5: "IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK, SOONISH IS ABOUT MEDIUM-TERM FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES, WHY THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN, WHY THEY MIGHT BE AMAZING, AND WHY THEY MIGHT BE DANGEROUS."

Panel 6: "PLUS COMICS."

Panel 7: "THERE’S ALSO A SHORT BONUS SECTION ABOUT THE TIME WE TRIED TO USE COMPACT NUCLEAR BOMBS TO EXPLODE OUR WAY TO SPACE."

Panel 8: "AND, IF YOU JUST DON’T CARE, PLEASE PRESS ‘Z’ TO SEE TODAY’S REGULAR UPDATE. THANKS FOR READING!"
