Hello everyone and welcome to Talk Nurdy. It's Monday April 17th and I'm

your host Kara Santa Maria. Now this week we are talking to an incredible author

Daniel Suarez about his new book change agent but before we

jump into that I want to thank those of you who have made Talk Nurdy

possible this week now remember TalkNurdy is and will always be 100% free to download and

that is because of support from listeners like yourself. Those of you who want to patronize the show, yeah, or am I the patron? I think I'm the patron.

Yeah, so you patronize. That's how it works. There are a few different ways you can do it. You can go to

kar Santa Maria.com, you can buy something from the online store, you can

click through the PayPal portal, but it does seem to be that the most popular way to support the show is to visit my

Big-time patrons of the show this week and they include Phil T-Bare, Timothy Glover, Jonathan Wright, Pedro M Rosario Barbosa,

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

All right guys without any further ado I want to jump into this great conversation.

He is a New York Times best-selling author of many books, Demon, Freedom, Kill Decision, Influcks, and his newest

book is called Change Agent.

Daniel Suarez is a novelist who really focuses on sci-fi thrillers, high-tech, evidence-based science

storytelling and so he's done a lot of great due diligence for this specific book and he focuses a lot on

themes of you know genetic modification, CRISPR and what it will be to be human in the future.

So without any further ado, here he is the author of Change Agent Daniel Suarez. Well Dan, thank you so much for joining me today.
