Matthew, this is one of my favorite interviews with my husband! You delved not just into the story of Exogenesis, but also the larger questions of what it means to be human in an age where technology encroaches on all aspectes of our lives. And how splendid to hear that you read the book three times!
Matthew, what a fine interview with such a fascinating individual. His is a voice (and elegant intellect) sorely needed to moderate discussions of how and why we pursue technology and what needs to be considered as we seek to make advances, especially given Meta's recent decision to manufacture, if that is the correct word, an AI more powerful than the human brain.
I also note that his children are being home-schooled. What rich talks and learning must go on around the table!
Peco and Ruth are rare people, who have the wisdom to see "through" the glitz and glam of the technocratic - leaning world we live in. Talented writers too.

Nicely done, Matthew.

Interesting talk and I will check out the novel. I’m afraid I’ll have to subscribe to two more Substack authors…
Always love how you weave personal insight with literary gems. Another good one.
