Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books:
"I dislike social commentary. Likeโฆ I really hate it. When Iโm reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the authorโs political agenda is validated. I hate that."
"I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and Iโm not trying to affect the readerโs opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that."
"To that end, I also donโt talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I donโt want readers to even know, honestly. I donโt want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff."
Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

Personally I think this play adds a ton to the game of football. I Would much rather watch this than a punt. Punting the ball and giving it to your opponent is way softer than fighting over a yard and pushing against each other. I guess you like soft football
