I need to write up an interview with Adam as a character. If you feel like helping me out, I could use questions, like a radio show. What, I'm old. Tell me your first name, your city, and your question. I'll select about eight questions for the piece. This is for the Nerd Daily. Art by Jake Shandy.

One of my favorite things when writing a book in the Binderverse is picking cars for Argent. Today it's a Rimac Nevera.
Adam: "Is this thing street legal in the US?"
Argent: "Ask me if I care."
