This week on Salt Lake Dirt, I’m thrilled to welcome author Kevin M. Kearney to discuss his thought-provoking novel, Freelance. Set against the backdrop of a dystopian gig economy, the story follows a young man's journey as he navigates the complexities of working for a rideshare app called HYPR in Philadelphia. Kevin shares the inspiration behind the book and how his personal experiences shaped the narrative, exploring themes of identity, the gig economy, and the psychological impact of technology on relationships.
We dive deep into the protagonist Simon's struggles, his interactions with a cam girl, and the disorienting nature of modern work. Kevin offers insights into his writing and editing process, revealing how he transformed initial sketches into a compelling narrative.
Thanks for tuning in!
