Laurie Stevens on Switching Genres and the Psychology of Suspense

We explore the fascinating transition of Laurie Stevens, a renowned novelist, screenwriter, and playwright known for her award-winning psychological suspense series, as she ventures into the realm of science fiction and fantasy with her latest work, THE RETURN. Stevens discusses the bold move of shifting genres, exploring how artificial intelligence clashes with human consciousness. Inspired by the biblical story of Adam and Eve, this new narrative examines the allure of temptation and the implications of dependence on artificial intelligence. We contemplate the potential consequences of substituting AI for interpersonal relationships and explore the significance of verisimilitude and character development. Join us for this thoughtful dialogue on storytelling's evolution amidst technological advancements and the enduring power of the human spirit.
