Martha Wells talks about her Nebula-award-winning new Murderbot book "Fugitive Telemetry", how Covid impacted writing/publishing/fan interaction, the role perspective plays in telling a story, and the positive power of fandom.

Called "A perfect military fantasy: brutal, complex, human and impossible to put down," C.L. Clark's debut novel is an amazing combination of intrigue, action, and social issues in a fantasy setting both familiar and surprising. Cherae talks about the process of writing this book, how fight scenes are plotted out and why anti-colonialism and P-90X are both important!

What does the future of personal privacy, connection, personhood, and work mean as technology changes? S.B. Divya touches all of that in her new book "Machinehood", and in this podcast she talks with Worldbuilders about the process of writing it during a pandemic and why it was an important story for her to tell.
