Philip Fracassi on Time Travel, Trust, and the Terror of Memory

In this episode, acclaimed author Philip Fracassi joins us to talk about his gripping new novel, The Third Rule of Time Travel. We dive deep into the emotional and psychological layers of time travel, the haunting consequences of reliving the past, and the blurred lines between science and corporate ambition. Fracassi unpacks the complex dynamics between his characters—especially the fragile trust between protagonist Beth and the morally murky Jim Langan—and the cold, clinical setting that mirrors Beth’s internal struggles. He shares his thoughtful approach to character development, the personal and professional duality of his lead, and how theoretical physics and universal consciousness inform his storytelling. Plus, we get a look at his writing process, his transition to full-time author, and what’s coming next.Website: https://pfracassi.com/Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000APLIREInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pfracassi/?hl=enPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/Philip_FracassiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/philipfracassiwriter/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/pfracassi.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.net/@pfracassiTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pfracassi
