Episode 143: Nick Casbarro

A writer with a drive and singular vision for the expansive world he created discusses the world he continues to build.

Nick Casbarro is the author of the science-fiction series Vitalerium. His debut novel, Vitalerium – Descent into the Void, is a space opera set in a dystopian future about a freelancer who uncovers a planetary conspiracy. A former physical therapist, Casbarro drew inspiration from his own experiences with sleep paralysis, sci-fi classics like Frank Herbert's work, and the atmosphere of metal music. He's built a vast universe beyond the book with plans for comics, animation, and video games, all while exploring philosophical themes about technology and the search for balance.

Nick discusses finding a love of writing a little later in life, the influences that inspired Vitalerium and the detailed plans for it's future!
