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!Daniel Suarez: https://daniel-suarez.com/On twitter: https://twitter.com/itsdanielsuarezDaemon: https://www.amazon.com/DAEMON-Daemon-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451228731Freedom™: https://www.amazon.com/Freedom-TM-Daemon-Daniel-Suarez/dp/0451231899Delta-v: https://daniel-suarez.com/Delta-v_synopsis.html
