What a Hell of a Way to Die


Jun 25, 2020

On today's episode, Nate speaks with author Matt Gallagher (@MattGallagher0) about his new novel ‘Empire City’. Matt's an Army veteran of the war in Iraq and has also written two other books, the novel Youngblood and the memoir Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War. We talk about incrementalism versus radicalism, how to write dystopian fiction when we already live in a dystopia, and much more.
