63. Zack Samo - Exodus 2065: Facing Your Demons

63. Zack Samo - Exodus 2065: Facing Your Demons

In Zack Samo's Exodus 2065, humanity encounters an extinction level event. They flee the Earth for an unknown future, chased by 'demons' from the bowels of the planet. But some choose to stay and face the threat, forging a new future for humanity on Earth.

I chat with Zack about being an optometrist who writes science fiction, apocalypses, generation ships, artificial intelligence, and the importance of facing your demons.

As usual, there are also the Big Questions.

Books of his we discuss: Exodus 2065
