The Science of Interstellar is a rigorous yet accessible non-fiction companion to Christopher Nolan's film, written by Nobel laureate and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne — the same scientist who served as the film's scientific consultant and executive producer. Published by W. W. Norton & Company on November 7, 2014, the book walks readers through the real astrophysics underlying Interstellar's most spectacular conceits: wormholes, the supermassive black hole Gargantua, time dilation, extra dimensions, and Cooper's climactic plunge into a singularity. It is an unparalleled inside view of where Hollywood spectacle ends and genuine physics begins — and where, by Thorne's own admission, the film occasionally departs from the science.

Lily King's seventh novel follows the unnamed narrator — revealed at the end to be Casey Peabody, the protagonist of King's earlier Writers & Lovers — across roughly three decades, from a college love triangle with Sam and Yash in the 1980s through pregnancy, marriage, parenthood, and finally a reunion around a deathbed. Published by Grove Press in the US and Canongate in the UK in 2025, the novel functions as both a prequel and sequel to Writers & Lovers while standing on its own. The Guardian called it "a delightfully witty tale of college romance" that "matures into midlife poignancy," and critics described it as "intensely moving." Critical coverage was more skeptical, finding the plot at times "clunky melodrama" lacking "the staying power" of King's earlier work — making this a novel whose admirers will be passionate and its skeptics few but vocal.
