Fantasy & Steampunk author P. Djèlí Clark stops by to talk about his first novel, A Master of Djinn.

Phenderson talks about the appeal of the clockwork/steampunk settings and how imagining a Cairo developing uninfluenced by a colonizing superstructure, building the magic from that and from the previous shorter stories in this world, and more.
