Episode 150: John R. Carlos

Our host thaws out from a deep Cry-sleep to talk with a new author who has a lot to say on the subject!

John R. Carlos is a speculative fiction author whose stories live in the space where technology gets complicated and people decide they're not going to take it anymore. A former Wing Commander in the Royal Australian Air Force, a 42-year career that took him from Perth to global hot spots, John brings that high-stakes, big-picture experience right onto the page. His work, like his debut novel, Cryonic Dreams: Awakening, explores massive themes: What happens when loss meets agency, and when resurrection isn't a miracle, but a bold statement? He loves digging into the quiet rebellions and existential defiance that stir beneath a technological world struggling for control.

John talks about his parents immigration to Australia from Spain, how a nightmare spurred his debut novel and the cold reality of Cryogenics!
