Hi everyone, this week we are thrilled to invite author and developer Daniel Suarez, whose self published science fiction book Daemon became a cult success for its hard science fiction depiction of a narrow AI preprogrammed to re-order the world after the death of it's game developer author. We discuss Daemon and it's follow up Freedom™, how those books inspired aspects of the formation of Ethereum, the importance of reframing narratives through art, and Daniel's more recent work, Delta-V, researching the economics of space exploration. This is a really fun one!

Ah, also, the whole "game society" aspect reminds me of Josh's episode a while back! (Also, I'd be curious to read a book that tackles similar themes but in Europe, where having an armed shootout with the government is a bit less of a well-accepted way to go about things.)

Daniel is amazing to listen to, this was one of the best episodes - you almost seem like you are in one room together 💛
