Daemon, DAOs, Trojan horsing new narratives and Cislunar Exploration with Daniel Suarez

Hi everyone, this week we are thrilled to invite author and developer Daniel Suarez, whose self published science fiction book Daemon became a cult success for its hard science fiction depiction of a narrow AI preprogrammed to re-order the world after the death of it's game developer author. We discuss Daemon and it's follow up Freedom™, how those books inspired aspects of the formation of Ethereum, the importance of reframing narratives through art, and Daniel's more recent work, Delta-V, researching the economics of space exploration. This is a really fun one!

He's so fun to talk to! I hope we get a chance to do it again :)

Daniel is amazing to listen to, this was one of the best episodes - you almost seem like you are in one room together 💛

Ah, also, the whole "game society" aspect reminds me of Josh's episode a while back! (Also, I'd be curious to read a book that tackles similar themes but in Europe, where having an armed shootout with the government is a bit less of a well-accepted way to go about things.)
