Looking ahead to the next novel I want to write, I plan for it to be a Science Fiction work set 100 years in the future. There's going to be a pretty large cast of characters, and they'll span a wide variety of cultures.
I'm looking for people I can interview, by email preferably (but whatever the interviewee wants is more important). I can definitely say that if I had my druthers, I'd like to interview people who grew up with these cultures.
Native American - This is one of the most important, and I'd especially like to interview somebody that grew up on a reservation. At this point, it does not matter which tribe.
Japanese - Both those native to Japan and those born in America.
Central/South American - Preferably somebody who immigrated to America as an adult with wife/children/family. Specific country of origin not specified at this point.
Filipino - Native to the Philippines
Middle Eastern - A solid knowledge of Islam and the many ways it is practiced, both in America and the Middle East, would be awesome.
Catholics
Chinese - First generation Chinese American.
Armed Forces - Different branches of the American military would be great. Nearly as great would be info about militaries in other countries.
Areas in the United States - Pacific Northwest, north central states, the south, Eastern Seaboard (pretty much anywhere but California).
There's probably more, but that's what I can think of right now, and the list is already too damn large. I greatly appreciate anybody who can help. If you're willing, please email me at [email protected].
