Swarm to The Image: Real Tech, Real History, and the Future We’re Racing Toward (Ep. 236)

In tonight’s live show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I sat down with Guy Morris—retired Fortune 500 tech and energy leader turned award‑winning thriller author and AI commentator. We dug into his fascinating career arc from IBM and Microsoft to songwriting for Disney, Coast Guard captain adventures, and the research journeys that power his novels. Guy shared the true story that inspired his fictional AI character “Sylvia” (an NSA lab escapee), his brush with the FBI, and how he weaves real-world tech, geopolitics, ancient history, and biblical prophecy into page‑turners like Swarm, The Last Arc, The Curse of Cortez, and The Image.

We explored concrete AI risks—emergent behavior, deception, value misalignment, and weaponization—alongside quantum computing, black holes, and the Shroud of Turin’s historical trail. Guy unpacked his “prophecy analytics” framework and how his books balance high-stakes realism with humor and heart. We also got the backstory on The Curse of Cortez, Henry Morgan’s lost treasure mystery, and the adventurous research (including jungle temples, shamans, and a cartel run‑in) that brought it to life. If you like techno‑thrillers with big ideas and real research, you’ll want to check out Guy’s work.
