Set in a world that diverged from our own, Undercity examines eugenics, human ambition, and the cost of deciding who belongs—and who doesn’t. We also discuss Monte’s writing process, the challenge of weaving multiple perspectives, and the influence of his father, Charles Schulz. If you enjoy thought-provoking fiction and conversations that go beyond the surface, this episode is for you. 👉 Undercity : https://books2read.com/u/31NlOa 👉 More episodes of Author in the Headlights: https://www.duramenpublishing.com/author-in-the-headlights","meta_description":"In this episode of Author in the Headlights , we sit down with Monte Schulz to explore his novel Undercity —a powerful and unsettling story about what hap…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":765,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/author-in-the-headlights-7109453/episodes/it-s-about-a-society-that-s-given-itself-over-to-eugenics-monte-schulz-about-his-newest-book-undercity/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/author-in-the-headlights-7109453/it-s-about-a-society-that-s-given-itself-over-to-eugenics-monte-schulz-about-his-newest-book-undercity.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
