My special guest today is James Edin joins me today to chat about his sci-fi novel, Superman from Earth.
Bio:
A low profiled university professor can be high profiled if necessary. I am passionate about reading, history, and science fiction. I consider myself thoughtful and introspective. I enjoy exploring the complexities of life through writing. Years of mathematical training helps to construct a logical and rigorous story line.
Welcome, James. What inspired you to write this book?
The integration of deep thinking about current social issues and human natures, desire for a better future life, reflection on human history, loving science fiction and space exploration.
Excerpt from Superman from Earth:
The fourth industrial revolution started in the 2050s, based on the rapid development and widespread application of nanotechnology and genetic technology…

In 2390 when the sixth industrial revolution was beginning, Global World Product per capita reached 60,000 unidollars (the unidollar was the currency used in the unified world, with one unidollar equal to one billion dollars)…

In the late 24th century, human life expectancy approached 400 years on average and was typically between 370 and 410 years. The only obstacle to immortality, which was also the challenge to humanity, was replicating the brain and the information stored in it. At the time, the human lifespan depended entirely on the lifespan of the brain…
People are highly ethical and sincere with one another. They are willing to help and respect one another without jealousy and contempt. The dark side of human nature has all but disappeared…
