Conversations with Authors of Science Fiction and Fantasy
If you read science fiction, you have to read Robert J. Sawyer. That’s all there is to it.
Calculating God explores such mundane questions as “Was the universe designed by an intelligent creator?” “Is there a God?” “Does he influence the affairs of man?” “Why is there life in the universe?” Sawyer’s answers are the most imaginative you will ever read.
Steven Piziks
Steven Piziks, writing under the double-top-secret code name of Steven Harper, released recently his latest work Nightmare. In Steven’s own words, “it’s a serial-killer science-fiction novel!”
Greg Bear.
Greg joins us to speak about his latest book, Darwin’s Children, an interesting interpretation of the future of mankind and the possibilities in store when evolution makes a big leap forward — rather quickly! It’s the sequel to Darwin’s Radio, where Greg first started talking about the changes possible now that we better understand the genetic sequence of mankind.
Interview: Tony Ruggiero joins us to talk about his latest book, Get Out of My Mind, a political book with a slight science fiction twist. Set around the presidential election of 2000, we get a glimpse of both human as well as alien politics.
Interview Cory Doctorows’s latest book, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is out and doing very well on Amazon.com. However, Cory has also made the novel available for you, free to download under a Creative Commons license (and also at Project Gutenberg).
Interview: Rob Sawyer, possibly one of the most heavily grounded in “science” authors of science fiction we’ve ever talked to, joins us to discuss his latest series of books dealing with Neanderthals and Human evolution. The first book, Hominids, is out in paperback and the next book, Humans, will be out in hard cover very soon. Following quickly on their heels will be Hybrids, the conclusion (?) of the series.
Greg Burke is the author of Alien Earth, a near-future novel about… aliens and the earth! (Go figure.) In a nutshell, everything you’ve heard about aliens is true. Now how do we react as a species? Gotta read it to find out!
Greg also writes technical manuals for… beer? Now come on. We’ve drank enough beer to know that it’s not that technical. But it does make for a funny story!
