On today’s episode, we’re thrilled to be joined by New York Times Bestselling Author Daniel Suarez to discuss his latest space-tech thriller and new book Critical Mass. Fans of Delta-v, one of his previous novels, will be delighted to pick back up where the previous crew left off! We’ll be discussing Daniel’s inspiration behind these novels, what to expect from Critical Mass which is set to publicly release on January 31st (you can pre-order now!), and what he believes lies ahead for the future of the space industry.

Daniel Suarez is a New York Times bestselling author, TEDGlobal speaker, and former systems analyst whose unique brand of high-tech fiction explores the causes and impacts of rapid technological change. The author of seven novels, he has a track record of anticipating what’s next, and his latest book, Critical Mass (due out from Dutton Publishing on January 31, 2023) brings readers on a daring journey to the new frontier of private space exploration. The second book in the Delta-v series, Critical Mass realistically portrays humanity’s urgent transition from an Earthbound to a spacefaring civilization -- and brings home the message of why that’s critical to our future.
