Bestselling author Daniel Suarez joins Leo Laporte to talk about his techno-thrillers, including "Daemon" and his upcoming book "Shadow Zone." They discuss where his ideas came from, how AI has changed, the risks of concentrating power in a few centralized technologies, and why he thinks resilience and optimism matter for what comes next. The conversation covers autonomous weapons, local AI models, and what changing times mean for the human brain. If you like science fiction and want a grounded look at where tech is headed, this one is worth a watch.
