Like The Running Man, J.R.H. Lawless’ darkly comedic sci-fi novel Always Greener (paperback, Kindle) is set against the background of a TV show, albeit an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition-esque reality show and not a Survivor-meets-Gladiator-ish combative game show. But in the following email interview about this novel, Lawless not only admits that The Running Man was an influence, so was a certain spacial travel guide and a couple cyberpunk video games.
