Off On A Tangent - more interview fun with award-winning novelist Robert J. Sawyer (episode 42 of the podcast)
Time for another regular episode of the podcast, and this time we have more interview goodness from the Hugo- and Nebula - winning SF writer Robert J. Sawyer. We had so much fun talking to Rob about his new novel The Downloaded (see episode 40 ) that we decided to gather up our more general discussion into a separate segment. So here you will hear talk of Planet of the Apes , science fiction conferences, and much much more. We also have a mostly Star Trek quiz, but with a few Star Wars questions thrown in to trip Phil up. And the usual recommendations of past/present/future SF. Some of the items discussed in the episode: Robert J. Sawyer's website, with its appropriate URL: sfwriter.com The Audible version of The Downloaded ( US - UK - Canada ) The print versions of The Downloaded ( Amazon US - Amazon UK - Amazon Canada ) Stalker (1979 film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky) based on the novel Roadside Picnic (1972) by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
