Interview with Olga Tymofiyeva, Author of Just City

What’s the story behind the story? What impressed you to put in writing Just City?

It all began with John Rawls’ mind-blowing “veil of ignorance” thought experiment. I realized about it from Professor Michael Sandel’s lectures on “Justice,” which can be found on-line free of charge. Originally, after I got here up with the thought for the sport, I needed to create an precise VR recreation. Then a board recreation. But later I got here up with a sensible, low-budget model: writing a guide.

If you needed to choose theme songs for the primary characters of Just City, what would they be?

Obviously, “Twenty-Something” by Pet Shop Boys for Nathan! Ha-ha

What’s your favourite style to learn? Is it the identical as your favourite style to put in writing?

Non-fiction: Philosophy, Self-Help, Personal Transformation

What books are in your TBR pile proper now?

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

What scene in your guide was your favourite to put in writing?

Definitely, the combat between Nathan and Jack.

Do you will have any quirky writing habits? (fortunate mugs, cats on laps, and so forth.)

Writing in accommodations. You can guide a lodge for day use.

Do you will have a motto, quote, or philosophy you reside by?

Not surprisingly, it’s in “Just City.” A quote by Professor Robert Sapolsky: “You don’t have to choose between being scientific and being compassionate.”

If you can select one factor for readers to recollect after studying your guide, what would it not be?

See earlier query.
