Redefining Reality with Christopher Kaufman

The Architect of the Imaginary

What is the cost of building a world from scratch? In this episode, we sit down with fantasy novelist Christopher Kaufman to explore the profound "Cerebral" machinery behind epic storytelling. As a storyteller myself, I wanted to move past the "Goo" of plot points and dive straight into the Values and Foundational Logic that govern a writer’s creative process.

We explore a startling premise: the ability of fantasy writers to predict the future. By identifying the "Quagmires" of the present, writers like Kaufman create blueprints that don't just intrigue the masses—they redefine what is possible. We discuss how the "Internal Theatre" of fiction serves as a catalyst for the innovative inventions and social shifts of the next generation.
