Award-winning science fiction author Jeremy Clift discusses climate collapse, genetic sovereignty, and the moral choices shaping humanity’s future in the Sci-Fi Galaxy saga.

Hello My Happy People,
We are heading into the homestretch of Lovefest for Season 5 but we still have some incredible authors to introduce you to before we are done. In this episode, I am sharing my thought-provoking chat with award-winning science fiction author Jeremy Clift. Jeremy is a former international news correspondent with Reuters and the creator of the Sci-Fi Galaxy saga.
We touch on all of his books in this series and give you a detailed glimpse into his latest novel, Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse. In this second book in the series, his characters must fight for humanity’s future as the tide shifts from survival to control. As civilizations deal with climate collapse, food shortages, and corporate power overreach, will one genetically altered child determine what humanity becomes next?
Jeremy shares how his background in journalism and global reporting shaped the ethical and political questions at the heart of his fiction, why genetic sovereignty and seed vaults became central themes in this book, and how moral choice drives the story forward. We also discuss writing complex futures without losing the human core, and what comes next in the Sci-Fi Galaxy universe.
This is a conversation about power, protection, and the question at the heart of great science fiction. It's not just about how humanity survives, but who gets to decide what that survival looks like.
Enjoy,
Dianne
