Episode 35 - Interview #2 with A.C. Hachem
04/02/17 09:27
This week I have another long chat with science fiction author A.C. Hachem (achachem.com) about his recently released book Dawn Of Legaia (dawnoflegaia.com). We also touch on creativity and the process, the technology in his book (including AI, androids, and artificial gravity), the near future society he's imagined, comic cons, and then we nerd out about movies and video games for a while.
*A quick footnote for this episode, in case anyone is fact checking. A.C. later clarified for me that it was a writer for the tv show The Expanse who hated the Mass Effect 3 ending, not one of Mass Effects writers. And if none that made sense to you it's ok to just move along.

In this episode I do my first interview, this with author A.C. Hachem (achachem.com). His first book, Dawn of Legaia, a near future story set on Earth and in a station in near-earth orbit, will debut on November 11th 2016. We talked about the book, the creative process, realism in science fiction, The Matrix, and more. Also, check out his great blog for daily sci-fi news, movies, gaming, and more.
Also, quick news: Star Trek turns 50, and a great Mars panorama from Curiosity.
