This episode of other people is sponsored by Amazon Publishing, publisher of the critically acclaimed thriller, Brilliance, by Marcus Sakey.

Brilliance introduces readers to an alternate present day. In Wyoming, a little girl reads people's darkest secrets by the way they fold their arms.

In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion.

These gifted people are called brilliance, and since 1980, one percent of people have been born this way.

Their differences have become a source of fear and prejudice among normal people.

Federal agent Nick Cooper is a brilliant, and his talent makes him exceptional at hunting terrorists.

His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant responsible for mass

murder, and intent on provoking civil war. But to save the world, Agent Cooper may have to

betray his own kind. Gillian Flynn, the best-selling author of Gone Girl, raves.

Brilliance is the kind of novel that makes you grin at its high-flying feats of imagination,

and then grin harder because it sticks the landing.

It's thrilling and funny and disturbing and sharp as hell.

You are not alone. You have found other people. You and I have a friend in common.

Every stupid thing that a writer could do I've done. I think it's really beautiful.

Jesus, did it? What a struggle, you know? It was incredible. You know, it was like your head exploded, seeing what was really there. And now here's your host, Brad Listing. Just one person at just one time. Right. All right, everybody. Here we go again. This is it. This is other people. This is more of a conversation than an interrogation.
