Sci-Fi author Christian Hurst, the creator of the best-selling space opera series 'Lily Starling' chats with me about emotional exploration and using metaphor in 'Fantastic' science fiction writing. He discusses Ursula K. Le Guin's work, mentions 'Arrival' (the 2016 American science fiction drama starring Amy Adams), and together we think about time loops, communicating with extra terrestrials, the definition of courage, and even the world of Horton Hears a Who!
