Episode 1245
Friday, 8 May, 2026
Mark Greaney is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and has spent his career exploring the technical and human complexities of the modern thriller. A student of international relations and political science, he has spent the last two decades at the intersection of deep-state espionage and the high-tech future of warfare. He is the creator of the Gray Man series, a motion picture starring Ryan Gosling, and was entrusted to carry forward the Jack Ryan universe created by the late Tom Clancy. To get the details right, Mark doesn’t just sit at a desk; his writing is built on a foundation of immersive experiential research. He’s traveled to dozens of countries, trained with SWAT teams, and even flown in Navy fighter jets.His latest book, The Hard Line, brings his protagonist back to a landscape of old conflicts in Northern Ireland and forces him to confront a father he hasn't seen in twenty years. It’s a story about the blood we share and the blood we shed. It arrives at a moment when the boundaries of global conflict are being redrawn by AI, disinformation, and a shifting geopolitical order.(0:00) The AI Arms Race(1:42) Maladaptive Daydreaming(2:34) Following Your Passion(3:05) Collaborating with Tom Clancy(3:38) The Weight Of Grief(6:03) The Reality Of Consequences(7:26) The Value Of Outsider Perspective(8:30) The Weaponization Of AI(9:00) The Erosion Of Truth(11:05) The Erosion Of Institutions(13:14) The Media And ComplexityEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
