John M. Green talks to Cheryl about the power of asking “what if,” how the editing process can transform a book, the challenges and rewards of writing across different genres, and his thoughts on how AI is changing the world. His new book Staged is out now.
About the author:
John M. Green is the author of 7 thrillers where crime, the arts, geopolitics and spectacle can collide, and where reputation can be a lethal weapon: Staged, Framed, Double Deal, The Tao Deception, The Trusted, Born to Run and Nowhere Man. John left his day job as a banker before the global financial crisis – with enough of a lag so no one could accuse him of starting the whole mess! He wrote his first novel about it.
