Entrepreneur James Altucher, host of the
James Altucher Show podcast, is a lifelong science fiction fan. Some of his favorites include Star Wars,
The Edge of Tomorrow, and Roger Zelazny’s
Amber series.
“It really sets you free, when anything goes,” Altucher says in Episode 461 of the
Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. “When there’s time travel, when there’s teleportation, when there’s galactic empires with mystical powers. When there’s a universe where there’s a planet where it’s perfect order, and there’s another universe where it’s perfect chaos, and there’s a spectrum of infinite universes in between, and you can go in and out of those universes. It was just beautiful to me.”
