Ep 108: Marie Lu 2.0

Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the LEGEND and the
YOUNG ELITES series, talks about her newest book, WARCROSS as
well as BATMAN: NIGHTWALKER and the forthcoming KINGDOM OF BACK.
Marie chats about the lag between the eternal optimism of tech
and moral questioning of its powers, how writing about evil
characters was almost too much for her, and the responsibility of
writing a real woman’s story.
