An engineer’s romance isn’t always with people. For V’ren systems specialist T’mari Th’ron and Missouri Freeholder Matt Marmaduke, it’s with compatibility—of tools, of technologies, of principles. In this interview, the pair talk shop, tell stories, and reveal how the quiet work of collaboration is reshaping the future of infrastructure on Earth.
In an exclusive sit-down inside Matt Marmaduke’s home theater, Zara Vox of Rolling Stone gets a front-row seat to the unexpected cultural gravity of Earth’s favorite interspecies couple.
