American sci fi writer Greg Bear has written over 50 books during a career that has spanned 50 years. Blood Music was an early prize-winning novel about an infection caused by nanotechnology which took over reality. Published 15 years later, Darwin's Radio explored the notion of a prehistoric retrovirus that spread around the globe and caused evolution to take a giant step forward. We explore the two novels, Bear's career, and his thoughts about writing, science fiction, and current events. An interesting episode about how readers react to these two novels, particularly the differences in the writing and plot pacing.Greg's website:https://www.gregbear.com/index.phpGreg's Tedx talk we mention:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u902ckKXNMIThoughts?
