Episode 97: Interview with Sci-fi Legend David Gerrold author of Hella

David Gerrold is the legendary screenwriter and novelist who is most famous for inventing Tribbles and writing much of the series bible of Star Trek The Next Generation. More importantly, he is the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of The Martian Child, The Man Who Folded Himself, and the War Against the Chtorr series of books. His most recent novel Hella was one of my favorite reads of 2021. It is an incredible work of world-building and hard science speculative fiction. Set on a colony world that has enormous everything. This is a shorter interview than I normally do because I did it after interviewing David for an article on Dorothy Fontana. In this interview we talk about the novel Hella, the inspiration, David’s writing process, building the world of Hella, then we talk about general science fiction stuff, Harlan Ellison stories, and how Barry Malazberg saved his classic time-travel novel. Fun stuff.
