Episode description

Join us in a conversation with New York Times best selling author, Jason Pargin, premier voice in high-concept fiction, known for blending surreal horror with sharp-witted social commentary. 

Jason Pargin created the cult-classic John Dies at the End series, which was adapted into a major motion picture. He followed that success with the Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits series, deconstructing the dark side of the upcoming digital age.

His latest work, I Worry About the Box of Doom, follows two characters tasked with delivering a mystery box across America. During their long and often dangerous adventure from coast to coast, they find the time to deconstruct the cynical and conspiratorial realities of modern internet culture.

A 15-year veteran Executive Editor of Cracked.com, Pargin has spent decades satirically analyzing how technology and internet culture reshape the modern human psyche. Pargin offers a level of insight into our current reality and future that few other authors can match.
