Anderson “Drew” Boyd is an award-winning writer, director, producer, and editor. He is the author of The Lease of Nature. This book speaks on the dynamics of the organ trafficking industry. The plot of this book is based in 2019 America, where doctors Maya Copeland and Zhong Jian are on the verge of revolutionizing medicine with 3-D printed heart transplants—a breakthrough that could save countless lives, including Maya's beloved. But their miracle threatens the profits of the "Red Market," the brutal organ trafficking empire controlled by the Triad's ruthless leader, The Golden Mirror. As these criminal syndicates evolve from local gangs into high-tech, corporate-style operations, the novel exposes the dangerous "wild west" that emerges when technology outpaces law. Anderson joins the show to further talk about the context of his book, and to also go into further detail about the organ trafficking industry in America.
