I'm always giddy when I get to interview/talk to authors and narrators! My poor fiance has to live with me and my babbling about whomever between the confirmation and the interview, lol.
Am reading the books. Am at “second shift” and reading thru the series while waiting for more episodes of the show. My one critique is instead of making up a new political party or group within the gov he keeps insinuating that the democratic party is responsible for making the silo’s and destroying the world. Its almost like a qanon fever dream. I wish the author had stayed away from demonizing an entire political party. Made me picture him wearing a maga hat as he wrote the story. I hope the tv show doesn’t go in this direction.
@@UpperPenPodcast if you pay attention to the details given , then all the antagonist in the story are Democratic Party. And it is implied that it was the democratic party that came up with, and cooperated with this plan to build 50 silos and destroy the world. There is no if ,ands or butts about it. This isn’t my interpretation or what I think or how I feel these are facts that you can read in the book. And it is a fact that this entire story is supposed to be perpetrated by a misguided group of democrats and the entire party goes along with it. Don’t try to gaslight me like all I cared about was politics, and that’s why I noticed . I just happen to frigging pay attention to details. Im sorry if my reading comprehension is greater than your but on at least 3 different points in the book the author alludes to the democrats.
@@UpperPenPodcastdid you actually read the book or just skim some part of it for compliments to give the person you’re interviewing? The second book is all about politics, and how those politics lead to the building of the silos and the whole ideology behind them. I’m pointing out the elephant in the room not because I like elephants but because I have eyes.
I read the first book for the interview, but I was much more interested in the structure and language that Howey uses to bring forth the emotional aspects of the characters. I didn't really much care about the political structure of the society. If I reread the book or when I continue the series I'll probably see what your talking about, but my background is in creative writing and I often focus on the mechanics of books because I enjoy craft.
@@UpperPenPodcast the first book he just told the story . In the second he goes into detail. And basically says it was democrats without actually saying democrats. Nowadays you can tell when an author is a conservative. It bleeds into everything they do. I like the story , just very against demonizing other Americans with subtle talk and dog whistles. Im hooked on the series but this glaring issue ruins it for me a bit.
So cool you snagged this interview. Really enjoyed "Wool" and loving the Silo show now!

I´m so in love with Hugh and his talent. He is my twin soul because I´m writer too.😘😍
That's wonderful!

I never got that feeling, but I was way more interested in the characters and the writing style than the political structure.
