"...in the mechanistic absence
of an emotional dimension..."

Wed Jan 1 2025

Blazing Reader,

In the write-up and intro for today's episode of Just Right, host Bob Metz says:

"...in the mechanistic absence of an emotional dimension, morality, ethics and purpose, a dystopian horror may surface, as more and more humans seek to escape from a reality no longer of their own making, to a fantasy which offers an illusion of autonomy."

Of course, he's talking about the theme behind my new novel, All the Humans Are Sleeping.

Last week, co-host Robert Vaughan and I had a one-hour discussion about my dystopian tale.

The full video recording of our philosophical musings is available at JustRightMedia.org.

Or you can listen to the abridged audio-only version in this week's episode of the Just Right podcast.

This is the first interview ever about All the Humans Are Sleeping. I can't think of a better way to start off the New Year.
