SciFi Author PJ Manney on the New Mythos and (Con)Science

This is the second interview of my series on story and my guest is PJ Manney. PJ is the author of the Phoenix Horizon Trilogy and has already been a guest on Singularity.FM twice before. [See our 1st and 2nd interviews.] She is a friend, and I am a big fan of her books. Today we are going to touch on the last book of her trilogy – (CON)Science and will discuss what PJ calls the New Mythos, and what I refer to as ReWriting the Human Story. During our 2-hour conversation with PJ Manney, we cover a variety of interesting topics such as the genesis and purpose of The New Mythos; Aristotle’s story structure and hero’s journey; Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s concept of the Noosphere as a metaphor of the new mythos; the definition of story and why it is to us like water is to fish; Future Shock, complexity and Jonah Sach’s “myth gaps”; the poison and cure of story and science; ethics, our frame of reference and the powers of 10; the human story and the dangers thereof; Yucky Gets Yummy: How Speculative Fiction Creates Society; (CON)Science and PJ’s upcoming 14 stories on the Axial Age.
