Writers & Illustrators of the Future Podcast 158. NYT bestselling author Douglas E. Richards

United Public Radio

Douglas E. Richards is a multiple New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of science-fiction thrillers that have sold over two million copies. I was initially introduced to him through his book “Seeker” which left a very refreshing view on the future of humanity. After reading Seeker, I asked him for a recommended next read and he suggested the newly released “Unidentified” a book that opens and closes with the author participating on a large podcast. He had me at the word "podcast"! He has gone from being a biotech executive and Director of biotechnology licensing with a BS in microbiology from the Ohio State University, and a master's degree in genetic engineering from the University of Wisconsin--where he engineered mutant viruses now named after him--and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
