  • The Echo of Rebellion: Family, Duty, and the High Cost of Resistance
    Apr 17 2026

    Sai’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    Violence has an echo, growing louder with each reverberation.

    In the far-future world of Ashme’s Song, the society of New Mesopotamia is collapsing into the gritty, action-filled chaos of civil war and rebellion. But for Brad C. Anderson, the story isn’t just about the clash of empires—it’s about the devastating “terrible toll” that resistance takes on the individual and the family unit.

    Joining me today on The Mind of Sai Marie is Vancouver author and researcher Brad C. Anderson to discuss the intricate worldbuilding of his latest cyberpunk-infused science fiction tale.

    We dive deep into the impossible choices faced by his protagonist, Ashme—a woman with the AI-modified power to control computer systems, torn between the call to be a hero for her people and the overwhelming needs of her twin brother, Shen.

    In this episode, we explore:

    * The tension between the desire to fight for a cause and the primal instinct to flee with your family.

    * How organizational wisdom and Brad’s background in the biotech sector influence his vision of a modified future.

    * The concept of internal activism and the resilience required to maintain your values when your society is crumbling.

    * Why un-curated, messy reality is the most vital element of science fiction in 2026.

    Brad reminds us that rebellion is never just a political headline; it is a lived experience that ripples through our most sacred bonds.

    Pick up Brad C. Anderson’s book!

    Ashme’s Song is a thoroughly engaging and thought-provoking exploration of timeless themes.

  • Hello, I Am Here: Backpacking Through the '90s with Candace McPhie
    Apr 16 2026

    Sai’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    In this episode of The Mind of Sai Marie, I sit down with author Candace McPhie to discuss the third installment of her Back in a Year series, Hello, I Am Here.

    We take a trip back to the 1990s for a hilarious and messy backpacking adventure that spans from the cobblestones of Europe to the blistering heat of the Middle East. Candace opens up about the kryptonite that kept her waiting in Prague for a man who didn’t love her, and the strength it took to finally get on a plane and reunite with her friends.

    From dodging bed bugs and camel spit between Amman and Cairo to navigating the unexpected challenges of a felucca trip down the Nile, Candace shares how the grit of travel serves as a powerful catalyst for self-discovery. We discuss the Architecture of Resilience required to find beauty in the chaos and why, in the end, the thing she was missing wasn’t a peanut butter sandwich—it was herself.

    Topics discussed in this episode:

    * The ‘90s Travel Experience: Navigating the world before constant connectivity.

    * Emotional Kryptonite: The difficulty of leaving behind people who don’t serve our journey.

    * Middle East Adventures: The reality of haggling, bus hierarchies, and “hairy nemeses” on the Nile.

    * Finding the “Me”: Why the messiest stories often lead to the most profound healing.
