Writing Indigenous Science Fiction w/ Daniel H. Wilson
Text the Bookcast and say "hi"!
Welcome to Chapter 76 of the Okie Bookcast - Our 4th Bookcastaversary Show!
Stay tuned after the conversation for some updates as we move into Year 5.
For this special episode of the Bookcast, I sat down with the incredible Daniel H. Wilson. Daniel is a Cherokee citizen, Tulsa native, and the multiple New York Times bestselling author of techno-thrillers such as Robopocalypse, The Clockwork Dynasty, and The Andromeda Evolution (an authorized sequel to the Crichton classic). He earned a PhD in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University, as well as Masters degrees in Machine Learning and Robotics. He just released a new novel, Hole in the Sky, a fantastic story of Native First Contact. In our conversation, we talk about the new book and its deep connection to his Oklahoma roots and Native heritage. We also talk about writing technology for non-technical folks, indigenous science fiction, and Daniel gives a quick impromptu masterclass on screenwriting.
