WRITERS ON THE BEAT: Veterinarian and International Bestseller James Rollins on Artificial Super Intelligence

International bestseller James Rollins stopped into the Interrogation Room to answer a few questions. Prior to writing full-time, James ran a successful veterinary practice. Readers across the world have since purchased millions of his works in 40 languages, and his novels include several stand-alones; fourteen installments of the popular Sigma Force series; the off-shoot Tucker Wayne series; the Order of the Sanguines series; the Jake Ransom middle grade series; and the blockbuster movie novelization of “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”  In this episode, James and host Gavin Reese talk about Jim's new release, CRUCIBLE, and the relationships it explores between 15th/16th century witch persecution and the imminent existence of self-aware artificial super intelligence. The conversation also included his craft of writing cross-genre bestsellers, how underrated Michael Crichton's work is, and why Sherlock Holmes would be his chosen homicide detective.  James also explained his philanthropic efforts to help veterans in crisis, as well as how he and other authors are helping vets to write and publish their stories through the following organizations: usacares.org/ www.us4warriors.org/ James's site: jamesrollins.com    Gavin’s works: www.amazon.com/Gavin-Reese/e/B072W5PPGS/ Gavin’s site: https://gavinreese.com www.facebook.com/writersbeatpodcast #writersbeat #amwriting #amreading #amwritingfiction #thriller #espionage #writerslife #gavinthecop #gavinreese #police #policeprocedural #detective #conspiracy #conspiracyseries #writingcraft #nanowrimo #writingcoach #asi #ai #artificialintelligence #crucible #jamesrollins #sigmaforce #witchcraft
