When I am not in the lab, you can find me sailing, traveling, or chasing an adrenaline rush with action sports. I have also taken a deep dive into the humanities—studying everything from psychology and philosophy to the history of religion. !– hackernoon top story Like most of my work, it’s a look at life in a colonized solar system where the grind of survival clashes with deeper philosophical questions. With the pace of tech today, the evolution of androids isn't just a "what if" anymore: it’s an urgent conversation! I wanted to explore whether these machines will truly develop sentience, how that spark actually surfaces, and what the fallout looks like for the rest of us.  – hackernoon top story My 'office hours' are pretty split: I am a university professor, but I also work part-time in the industry. That means I am constantly churning out scientific papers, technical reports, patent filings, and textbooks. Sci-fi is my passion and pivot from all that. It’s where I take the rigid world of engineering and see how it holds up in the future solar system. You can find those stories on Amazon, Wattpad, and right here. ?– hackernoon top story Honestly, my routine is a bit of a mess. Inspiration hits me from all angles: a memory from an old adventure, a dense scientific paper, or even just a random comment I overhear. Sometimes it’s a quick spark; other times, an idea just lives rent-free in my head and won’t leave me alone until I get it on paper. That’s actually how my novel Iron Blood happened. It started as a short story, but it kept expanding. At some point, the characters just took over -it felt like they were demanding I tell their full story. – hackernoon top story The hardest part is the balancing act. I will be deep in a scene and realize it is way past midnight, and I have to force myself to shut it down. There is this constant tension when a story is taking over, and you are just trying to get through your day job. It feels like (I imagine) being in that final month of pregnancy: you are carrying this massive thing around, and even though you are ready for the delivery, the rest of the world still expects you to perform your daily duties. – hackernoon top story The next big milestone for me is building an audience for my novels, like The Red Leap. I am itching to find the time to dive into the sequel, focusing on the actual colonization and terraforming of Mars. Of course, my other characters are always competing for attention. Right now, I am also working on revamping a story about the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas called The Real Drama. ,– hackernoon top story I do not have many vices, but I have got a story for you. A few years back, I was at our swim club’s annual dinner: it was a big thank-you event for all our volunteers. I turned down a glass of wine with my meal, and the fellow swim instructor sitting next to me, who knew I did not smoke either, just looked at me and blurted out, ‘Don’t you have   vices?’ I thought about it for a second and told him, ‘Well, every once in a while, I treat myself to a cup of hot chocolate.’ The look on his face went completely blank, while our treasurer across the table just lost it laughing. any ?– hackernoon top story I am not sure if carpentry counts as 'tech-free,' but I definitely spend my downtime being active. I am big into kite surfing, snowboarding, and orienteering, plus I try to get a jog in whenever I can. But my real obsession is travel. I have managed to hit every continent except South America, including Antarctica and Greenland. South America is definitely next on the bucket list. – hackernoon top story Next up, I am taking readers out to the outer rim of the solar system. The story tackles a difficult moral dilemma: Is it always right to 'do the right thing'? It also dives into the evolving role of androids, specifically, whether we should treat them as mere hardware or as colleagues. I am interested in the friction between what is morally sound and what is actually most efficient in a high-stakes environment. – hackernoon top story It is a fantastic platform and incredibly well-run. One thing I really appreciate is how they filter out the noise. You do not get the scammers and spam you see on other forums. It is a hub for high-quality thinking. Some of it is honestly over my head, while some is more accessible, but it always provides fresh perspectives and plenty of inspiration for my own work. – – Meet the writer hackernoon top story Thanks for having me! And to the readers: you guys are the reason I do this. Thanks for the support and for letting me share these worlds with you. There is a lot more coming, so stay tuned! – hackernoon top story https://hackernoon.com/u/hanbe?embedable=true
