The catastrophe that has occurred is just a backdrop to the interactions of Brig, Steele and Clive. Their (strained) friendships are what drive Epsilon to epic heights. Without a strong, character-driven storyline, what you end up with is just another Hollywood action flick :)(less)

What do you think is the attraction of post-apocalyptic / dystopian fiction today? What motivates you to writing about earth several years after the catastrophic death of a technological society?

I think that maybe people are looking for change, or in some ways a way of seeing what "could be" if one specific thing were different in the world (hence, Dystopia). In essence, how would life go on if all of what we know is turned upside-down or destroyed. A very compelling genre, for certain.(less)

“Because in the end, isn't that what matters? That we're still here. And although the ride might get bumpy at times, the view is still so beautiful.”
