Born out of an offhand comment post-back surgery, Paul's debut novel Black Void explores a catastrophic experiment at CERN, resulting in a technology that erases matter instantly. Paul shares his journey from a career in technology and business to becoming a sci-fi author, as well as details about his research trips and the challenges of marketing a self-published book.
We also discuss the moral implications of advanced technology, the lack of self-awareness of ideologues, and creative uses of micro black holes.
Books of his we discuss: Black Void: Nowhere to Run
