Is Sci-Fi Foreshadowing Our Future? Bringing Ascendants From Screen to Page with Don Schechter (Ep 146)

Don Schechter is the author of Ascendants, an international best selling science fiction technothriller about a future where proof of an afterlife collides with corporate power, scientific ambition, authoritarianism, and the collapse of religious ideology. He is also the founder and CEO of Charles River Media, a producer, director, professor of the practice at Tufts University in the film and media studies program, and co-host of the sci-fi podcast No Win Scenario. Don joins us to talk about science fiction as a rehearsal for tomorrow, why future stories reveal today’s anxieties, and how questions around AI, biotechnology, power, class, and belief shape both Ascendants and the world we are living in now.🔗Check out Don's socials, an Ascendants below
