About this episode

(Uploaded the wrong file earlier, if you have 2 versions of this episode, this is the correct one.) This week we have a very special episode, as we're joined by Chris Beckett, author of April's book club selection Dark Eden. Chris was kind enough to call in from the UK to answer questions from Adrian, Matt, & Kevin (as asked by Adrian) about the book, his writing process, how he views political change, why his books don't have role models, his history with science fiction, and much more. We hope you enjoy this episode! If you like it, let us know, and we'll try to do more author interviews in the future. Many thanks to Chris Beckett for making time for us, it was an incredibly enjoyable & thoughtful conversation. Make sure to check out Chris' most recent book, Beneath the World, a Sea , which is available in hardcover & ebook in the UK and can be shipped to the US via sellers on Amazon . --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod , sending us an email at [redacted], or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit. We'll reply, and shout you out in the next podcast when we talk about your comment. And if you like the episode, subscribe at spectology.com or whever you listen to podcasts, and share it with your friends! Many thanks to Dubby J and Noah Bradley for doing our music and art.
