MT WHITE | A Sure Hand Behind The Madness


Listen Later

MT White is the author of the essential new fiction book CONTENT. It's a thrilling story that many of you may be able to relate to, about a young man living overseas who finds his way into an online community where all is not what it seems.

It's an examination about what happens when you take appealing, but bad ideas to the extreme, how we all get lost in our screens, kick around more dangerous ideas than we're willing to own up to, and what the consequences of that might be in our connected age.

In our conversation we discussed:

  • The origins of CONTENT, where the main character Jason came from, and how the story took shape
  • His personal journey as a writer, and how interests in previous eras of his life fused together into his newest work
  • The difference between art and entertainment, enchantment and spectacle, as demonstrated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe
  • And the essential, and often forgotten role the arts have to play in bringing us together, along with other questions of philosophy

  • It seems in many ways that men these days compete to see how many books they can read, sometimes up to 50 a year. I've read my fair share, that's for sure.

    But CONTENT? That one will stay with me. Once you listen to MT White, I think you'll understand why.
