I loved Recursion. When you wrote it, did you outline it first? Or did you have to use cue cards to organize yourself? Did you end up in your garage with sticky notes covering every square inch of the walls with miles of red yarn connecting the events like John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind"?

I had a whiteboard that contained meticulous drawings of every timeline in the book and how they connected to each other. It looked like a crazy person's office.

Blake Crouch:
I loved one of your early books RUN, It was a pure adrenaline read, as the events and action seem not to stop. I got excited recently when I heard of a movie coming out named Run, but unfortunately it was not your book. Having said that is there any chance of RUN being made into a movie or series? I usually don't hope for books to be turned into a movie or series, but I believe RUN would be the ultimate action movie.

Hi Blake! HUGE FAN! read all your books. I just picked up Ted Chiang's "Stories of Your Life and Others" and found some similarities between your style and his. So much heart and profound meaning buried within a wild futuristic sci-fi story. Did you find inspiration from him or vice versa? Do you know Ted Chiang or have read any of his work? Just curious!! Thanks!
