I think there is a could of thing going on there. Why do you think that in action-heavy YA lit there are these young girl protagonists, and why do you think these are the books that get adapted? Like in The Hunger Games and Divergent, The 5th Wave has a young heroine at the center of the book. Like seeing a picture of a rose and then getting the chance to smell the rose. Like you kind of see the middle schoolers face in the grown up face but it just feels different.įor me, seeing iconic scenes from the novels actually done with actors and props and sets was exactly like I imagined it while being not at all like imagine it. I have tried to describe it before, it is like seeing someone you knew in middle school all grown up. When you write a book, the action and characters are inside your head but then you go onset and see it in three dimensions. I was also there for a lot of the film, for about 50 percent of it. They really made an effort to include me. I was meeting with the producers and talking with the screenwriters throughout the whole process. I had heard horror stories of writers being left out of the loop and feeling like they were an afterthought and the source material is ripped to pieces, but my personal experience was nothing like that. What surprised you about the adaptation process? Our results establish the connection between inverse Anderson transitions and non-Abelian gauge fields, and thus comprise a new insight on the fundamental aspects of localization in disordered non-Abelian flat-band systems.This is the first book you’ve had that has been turned into a feature film. Through the direct measurements of frequency-dependent impedance responses and voltage dynamics, the pseudospin-dependent non-Abelian inverse Anderson transitions are observed. Furthermore, we theoretically design and experimentally fabricate non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm topolectrical circuits to observe the non-Abelian inverse Anderson transition.

Such an exotic phenomenon induced by the interplay between non-Abelian gauge fields and disorder has no Abelian analogy. It is found that pseudospin-dependent localized and delocalized eigenstates coexist in the disordered non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm cage, making inverse Anderson transitions depend on the relative phase of two internal pseudospins. Here, we report the first investigation on inverse Anderson transitions in the system with non-Abelian gauge fields. Inverse Anderson transitions, where the flat-band localization is destroyed by disorder, have been wildly investigated in quantum and classical systems in the presence of Abelian gauge fields.
