This is an excellent and very enlightening interview.

What stood out to me, in an interview where almost every idea was thought-provoking, is this paragraph:

"Look, it’s very natural, and very human, to want to explicate every single tiny detail of a shared universe. How this works, what that does, what goes on the map here, what are the rules for this. It’s fun and we all do it. But go too far and it’s death. It’s literal narrative death. One of the many unexpected obligations of a storyteller is knowing that being specific isn’t always smart."

It speaks to the ideas about how we as readers can ultimately shoot ourselves in the entertainment brain/foot when we allow our expectations get the better of us.
