GiGi Meier sits down with acclaimed sci-fi dystopian author, D.A. Murray, to dissect her thought-provoking novel Dominion: Ascension and its powerful exploration of human freedom. This isn’t just a story about a futuristic world; it's a deep dive into the enduring questions of power, control, and what truly defines humanity. We discuss how Dominion examines the intersection of technology, authority, and individual choice – urging us to consider whether true freedom lies in conforming to societal structures or forging our own paths.

Beyond the book itself, we uncover D.A.’s innovative approach to building a community through her Writers in Tech series, her vibrant online presence on Instagram and TikTok, and her genuine curiosity about readers’ choices. Plus, she shares insights into her unconventional career journey – from global travel to entrepreneurship – and reveals what this powerful novel taught her about herself.
