S.B. Divya's debut novel, Machinehood, is a thrill ride of plausible future conflict between developing AI and augmented human beings who have given up privacy and now rely on daily updates to their medication to combat designer viruses and remain competitive in the gig marketplace. Divya is also the co-editor of Escape Pod, which is a science fiction magazine podcast that features short stories by many of the greatest writers in the genre weekly. Join me for a lively discussion with S.B. Divya about how she got into the SF in the first place and how she went about creating her very plausible vision of the future in Machinehood.
