Do you have a specific place or thing which is very important to you during writing?
Lawrence Wright
Yes, I love my office. I designed my desk, which is a bit Star-Treky, but made of fir and mahogany, so it looks vintage. I'm cocooned by bookshelves so there's no doubt what I'm supposed to be doing when I sit to write.

Lawrence Wright:
Since I know you have done extensive research for your book and in light of our current covid-19 virus situation, what countries do you see as having done the best job for their people in trying to curb/stop this pandemic? China started with the Wuhan total quarantine and another country, Sweden is going at this from another perspective. Any thoughts?

Lawrence Wright:
Couldn't put it down! Rather than "just" a medical thriller, it's really a much richer portrayal of future threats – public health, kinetic war, cybersecurity, domestic social upheaval, etc. Hopefully the scenarios you portray in the book are far from our current reality, but does your experience researching and writing the novel lead you to worry about any similarly intertwined risks in our current moment?
