The ideas behind masterminds

Dear Mr. Korman,

My name is Sheridan weiss, and I am currently working on an independent research project that explores the nature vs. nurture debate, specifically how empathy develops and how it can be affected in individuals with psychotic traits. As part of my research, I was deeply intrigued by your book Masterminds.

Although Masterminds is a fictional story, it raises thought-provoking questions about identity, morality, and whether traits like empathy or criminal behavior are inherited or shaped by environment—questions that align closely with the focus of my project.

I would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to speak with you, even briefly, to learn more about your writing process and research. If you are available for a short call, video chat, or even an email Q&A, I would greatly appreciate it. I understand you have a busy schedule, and I truly appreciate your time and consideration.

Thank you so much for your time

Sincerely,

Sheridan Weiss
