Dani Vee and Chris Flynn chat about his new supernatural thriller novel Orpheus Nine. Described as Australia's Stephen King, Chris writes a satire about world problems through small town conversations. They explore doomsday culture and impact of a catastrophising media on mental health and desensitisation. They discuss why people are so worried about wrong or learning from their mistakes and what it is about the internet that makes people double down on their ideas. They also chat about the impact of AI, critical thinking and staying curious. Chris also confesses something about his personal journey when moving from Belfast to Australia, and why he needed to reset.
