    Charles E Gannon: How Hollywood Killed Hard Science Fiction!

    Charles E Gannon: How Hollywood Killed Hard Science Fiction!

    Why is hard sci-fi a dying genre in Hollywood? Why if shows like The Expanse manage to break out do we not see more shows & films like it?🤔

    In this episode of CultureScape, Peter Pischke interviews Charles Gannon, a Nebula-nominated author of hard science fiction novels and an awarded expert in game design and science writing. Charles discusses the challenges and rewards of writing realistic sci-fi, the state of popular culture and media, and the future of the genre.

    Chuck Gannon shares his insights and opinions on topics such as:

    The difference between hard sci-fi and soft sci-fi, and why the former is more difficult to produce and market
    The reasons behind Hollywood’s aversion to realistic sci-fi, and how The Expanse defied the odds and became a fan favorite
    The process and principles of writing hard sci-fi, and how he balances scientific accuracy, creativity, and storytelling
    The influences and inspirations behind his books, especially the Caine Riordan series, and how he collaborates with other authors and experts
    The trends and challenges of the sci-fi genre in the 21st century, and what he hopes to see more of in the future
