Send us a textThis month we read and review Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Like all of our reviews, the first part is spoiler free. (Don't forget to check out the outtakes at the end of the episode!)Here's a little about Service Model:To fix the world they first must break it further.Humanity is a dying breed, utterly reliant on artificial labor and service. When a domesticated robot gets a nasty little idea downloaded into their core programming, they murder their owner. The robot then discovers they can also do something else they never did before: run away. After fleeing the household, they enter a wider world they never knew existed, where the age-old hierarchy of humans at the top is disintegrating, and a robot ecosystem devoted to human wellbeing is finding a new purpose.Do you have a book you'd like us to review on this show?

In a world where politicians and oligarchs make wild plans, we often hear the cry “They're reading too much science fiction.” But instead, should our leaders read MORE about alternate futures and the unforeseen consequences of technology? Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky – of Children of Time and Dogs of War fame – tells Andrew Harrison why science fiction's job is more complex than just predicting the future… how it can explain egotists like Musk… and the science fiction he thinks Starmer should read. • Adrian Tchaikovsky's new book Shroud is available for pre-order. Adrian's choices for Keir Starmer: • After Atlas by Emma Newman • The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi • Ministry For The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Welcome, fellow book lovers and sci-fi enthusiasts! In this video, I have the absolute pleasure of chatting with none other than Adrian Tchaikovsky—an international sensation and the brilliant mind behind Children of Time. This conversation is a treat as we dive into Adrian's creative journey, his love for speculative fiction, and, of course, how a weird book about giant space spiders launched his entire career! From his science background to his fascination with spider evolution (yes, really!), Adrian shares how Children of Time almost didn't see the light of day, but then skyrocketed to success, winning awards and readers' hearts alike.
On Sci-Fi Talk, I'm spotlighting a groundbreaking audio drama, "Generation Crossing." This piece, inspired by Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Elder Race" and Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds," takes you on an 800-year space journey through a series of evocative monologues, with the ship's AI as the only constant character. Our guests today are the creative minds behind "Generation Crossing"—writer Mark Salinger and composer Dan Powell. We'll discuss their journey from their college days at Syracuse University to forming Dead Signals, a creative partnership that has yielded unique audio experiences like "Archive 81." Mark and Dan will share insights into their creative process, balancing narrative and music, and the thematic exploration of human society on a multigenerational spaceship. Tune in as we delve into how "Generation Crossing" invites listeners to think about culture, mythology, and the constraints of our environments, all while enjoying Dan's rich, original electronic music. Whether you're a dedicated sci-fi fan or new to the genre, this is an episode you won't want to miss. So, grab your headphones and prepare to be transported. Let's get started!

Today on the 5: Thanks to the book club over at Twit.tv, I recently read a 2024 novel titled Service Model. For most of the book I was having a good time, but then I got to the ending and it blew me away.

A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach
Welcome to our 30th episode in the monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and myself, Phil Svitek. If books are your passion, you've come to the right place! In this episode, we delve into Elder Race which a novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky. In it, Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way. But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself). Although she still gets in the way, she understands that the only way to save her people is to invoke the pact between her family and the Elder sorcerer who has inhabited the local tower for as long as her people have lived here (though none in living memory has approached it). But Elder Nyr isn't a sorcerer, and he is forbidden to help, and his knowledge of science tells him the threat cannot possibly be a demon… Join the conversation! Share your thoughts, queries, and viewpoints in the comments or connect with Marisa (@serafinitv) and me on social media. In our upcoming discussion, we'll explore another book.
