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.

Patricia Clarke is my Special Guest Today... International award-winning fine art photographer She recently released her new book, Facing Ourselves: Reckoning. “What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”         - Henry David Thoreau When I was a child, my grandmother gave me a gift that completely lit my imagination on fire. It was a simple enough gift, but within it's pages it opened the world to me. It was only an 1 inch thick. It's glossy pages often stuck together, until they were carefully separated by my small fingers, where their colors and magnificence unveiled and burst forth. The pages smelled of ink and what I imagine a photographer's dark room must smell like, chemicals and developing fluids. My grandmother had bought me a year subscription for National Geographic, and I fell in love with photography. Month after month my mailbox brought me another gift. The gift of seeing the world, imagining the far off places. I would spend hours, laying on the floor, slowly flipping the pages. My imagination could not be contained, and I made up stories from the photographs that I saw. Silo118 is pleased to announce an exhibition of new images by international award-winning photographer Patricia Houghton Clarke. Begun in 2014, Clarke's California Redwood series, Primal Wild, portrays a deep dive into the natural world, the Primal Wild. These analog images reflect a yearning for the quiet and wisdom of our ancient, majestic forests Patricia is a self-taught, award-winning photographer, and has focused her imagery on culture, history and human nature. She has decades of travel in over 40 countries and years of work in visual arts and social justice efforts: project creation, photography, fine art exhibitions, teaching, and community development. As the Co-Founder of an award-winning affordable housing nonprofit and volunteer with refugee support organizations, her work has been an exploration of humanity, both near and far. From the jungles of Borneo to the Drag culture of southern California, her interest in blending photographic work with a quest to promote understanding between cultures has powered her imagery for many years. Patricia's award-winning photography has been featured in exhibitions and publications around the United States and Europe. A unique collection of her photographs from the 2007 Obama Presidential campaign and Election Night in Grant Park is included in the Barack Obama Presidential Library collection. She speaks English, Spanish and Italian. She has just released her new book, Facing Ourselves: Reckoning.

Hello and welcome to Book Wine Club Season 2, a podcast where I, Lauren Popish, pair my latest read with a new wine, and then talk it out with my opinionated and inebriated co hosts, Ryan Conbruck and Julia Popish.On today’s episode Ryan, Julia, and I will be discussing the second half of The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode where we discussed the first half of the book, you’re going to want to stop, go back, and listen to that first.Today we’ll be pairing our read with a glass or three of 2019 white blend called Big Salt from Ovum. Pour yourself a glass and stay tuned.Link to book: https://amzn.to/2R3qaDmLink to wine: https://madwine.com/white-blends/92138-ovum-deep-water-big-salt-white-blend-2019.htmlThe Glass Hotel by Emily St. John MandelIt’s 301 pages in length.

On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby’s glass wall: “Why don’t you swallow broken glass.” High above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis is running an international Ponzi scheme, moving imaginary sums of money through clients’ accounts. When the financial empire collapses, it obliterates countless fortunes and devastates lives. Vincent, who had been posing as Jonathan’s wife, walks away into the night. Years later, a victim of the fraud is hired to investigate a strange occurrence: a woman has seemingly vanished from the deck of a container ship between ports of call.About the author:St. John's my middle name. The books go under M.Emily St. John Mandel's fifth novel, The Glass Hotel, was recently published in Canada and the US, and is forthcoming in the UK in August.

Season Finale! Rachel Pollack is a legend who is perhaps best known as one of the world’s foremost tarot experts, having written such classics as Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom and The New Tarot Handbook. She’s also the creator of The Shining Tribe Tarot and co-creator with Robert Place of The Burning Serpent Oracle and the Raziel Deck.But tarot is just of tip of the iceberg, as she is the author of 43 books of fiction and non-fiction, many of them in the speculative or sci-fi genres, including Unquenchable Fire which won the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and Godmother Night, which won the World Fantasy Award. She is also an accomplished comic book writer and pioneer, and during her run for DC Comics’ Doom Patrol in the 1990s, she introduced one of the world’s first transgender superheroes - and is now considered by many to be a transgender superhero herself.Rachel’s work has been translated into 16 languages, and she has taught and lectured on tarot, creative writing, gender, and innumerable other topics in the U.S. Canada, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and China. And until her retirement, she was a senior faculty member of Goddard College’s MFA in Writing program.Rachel’s most recent book is The Beatrix Gates, a volume which collects several of her most visionary stories as well as a brand new essay on magic and transgender living. This year it was nominated for a Lambda Award.One can see why poet Cat Fitzpatrick called Rachel “a living national treasure.”On this episode, Rachel discusses the relationship between tarot and comic books, the importance of visionary transgender storytelling, and why her religion is Heresy.Pam also speaks about following magical clues long term, and answers a listener question about practicing fire magic in the home.Our sponsors for this episode are Clarissa Eck Pottery, Max Razdow’s Mage Cards on Kickstarter, BetterHelp, and Clever Kim’s Curios

On today’s episode Ryan, Julia, and I will be discussing a novel set at the glittering intersection of two seemingly disparate events-a massive Ponzi scheme collapse and the mysterious disappearance of a woman from a ship at sea in The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. This one’s got acid paint, opioid addiction, and Canada. In this episode, we will discuss the first half of the book. Our final rating will come in the next episode to give you enough time to read along with us.  Today we’ll be pairing our read with a glass or three of a 2019 white blend called Big Salt from Ovum.

Sue Burke is a writer and translator whose recent sci-fi duology (SEMIOSIS and INTERFERENCE) has appeared on a number of “Best of” lists and shortlisted for some highly prestigious prizes.Our conversation covered how she knew from even before she could read that she wanted to be a writer, the inspiration for her two books, and many of the themes they explore.Sue's takeaway surprised me – and yet it shouldn't have. It's exactly what her books are about. And it's of vitally important that we heed her call.“There's something called 'plant blindness,' where you see a tree and every other tree is just the same tree. Well, no, it's not. [I hope readers] begin to see the individuals that are around them and understand that their lives are difficult for them, but important for them too, because this is our environment. If all the plants die, we're dead too."I found SEMIOSIS and INTERFERENCE to be engaging reads, almost frighteningly plausible sci-fi, and ultimately thoughtful meditations on language and meaning, cross-cultural & species communication, and the very real state of our planet.Bio:Sue Burke is a writer and translator who has lived in Milwaukee, Austin, Madrid, and now Chicago. She has published short stories, poems, and articles in a variety of magazines and anthologies, and her novel Semiosis was published by Tor in February 2018, and its sequel, Interference, in 2019.• Arthur C.

This is the twelfth episode of "Talking with Authors" by HEC Media and HEC Books. We're a program dedicated to speaking with some of the best selling authors around, covering many different genres.Today our author is a Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award winning science fiction writer Ann Leckie. We spoke with her in December of 2017, shortly after the release of her book “Provenance”, part of the “Ancillary” universe of books from the publisher Orbit that made her beloved by readers of the science fiction genre.This New York Times Best Selling author’s rise to sci-fi stardom began with her first novel “Ancillary Justice” in 2013 and kicked off her award winning career. The “Imperial Radch” trilogy continued with “Ancillary Sword” in 2014 and “Ancillary Mercy” in 2015 and featured sharply tuned characters dealing with ancient alien cultures. And while “Provenance” is set on the other side of the same universe as the “Ancillary” books, Leckie wrote the protagonist, Ingray, with an atypical attitude for a lead in that world…one that may be more relatable to most of us down here on Earth.We’ll learn about that new tack on a sci-fi hero and the change of focus to antiquity smuggling and forgery in “Radch Space", plus we’ll hear about the real world road taken by Ann Leckie to the worlds she creates on this episode of Talking with Authors from HEC Media and HEC Books. Our host and interviewer this time is Brenda Madden.HEC Media is a production company out of St. Louis, Missouri. With the help of independent bookstore Left Bank Books and St. Louis County Library, we are able to sit down with these amazing writers and thought leaders to discuss their work, their inspiration, and what makes them special.

The Clarke Award 2017 was given to Colson Whitehead for The Underground Railroad. Was it really sf/f? Is it enough to add an sf trope to make it science fiction? Are there any other examples of borderline cases? And how are they treated by book shops and reviewers? Participants: Flemming Rasch, Ian Sales, Patrik Schylström, Linda … Fortsätt läsa Sweconpoddar 85 – Where is the borderline? Is it speculative or realistic fiction? →

Dive into Vietnamese Seafood Noodle Soup with Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning writer Rachel Pollack as we discuss why Ursula K. Le Guin was such an inspiration, the reason celebrating young writers over older ones can skew sexist, what Tarot cards and comic books have in common, how 2001: A Space Odyssey isn't a science fiction movie but an occult movie, why Captain Marvel was her favorite comic as a kid (Shazam!), the serendipitous encounter which led to her writing Doom Patrol, how she used DC's Tomahawk to comment on old Western racial stereotypes, the problems that killed her Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot deck, how she intends to bring back her shaman-for-hire character Jack Shade, and much more.

On July 9th 2018 Team Human partnered with Virtual Futures for an evening of connection and conversation at JuJu's Bar and Stage in London. Joining Douglas on stage, science fiction, fantasy, and horror writer Pat Cadigan followed by biologist, author, and TED outlaw Rupert Sheldrake.Presented here is Part One of the program, featuring Douglas in conversation with Pat Cadigan. Pat and Douglas take a winding path through topics including virtual reality, identity, and telling the future. Inspired by Pat's vivid and clairvoyant imagination Rushkoff asks his audience to use the term "future" as a verb, exclaiming, "We can future together!"Opening the show, Rushkoff digs deeper into his recent, now viral essay, "Survival of the Richest." Rather than succumb to the notion that the future is something we must insulate ourselves from, what if we both imagined and committed to building a future that amplifies connection and mutual aid?Pat Cadigan is a science fiction, fantasy, and horror writer, three-time winner of the Locus Award, twice-winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, one-time winner of the Hugo Award.

Lise MacTague Gets Interviewed The Lesbian Review Podcast Lise MacTague gets interviewed in this episode of The Lesbian Review Podcast. She talks about her writing and recommends three lesbian fiction novels that she loves. Did you know? You get exclusive content when you become a patron? Find out more here.   3 Books That Lise Recommends Reintegration by Eden S French Publisher Queer Pack Synopsis Streetwise cyborg Lexi Vale brokers deals for gang lords in the anarchic city of Foundation. Her mind-reading implant gives her a crucial edge—but it also makes her brain a hot commodity.  When she’s targeted by an augmented hunter, Lexi joins a group of rebels: a murderous vigilante, a daredevil smuggler, a drug-addled surgeon, and a revolutionary whose shared past with Lexi endangers them all.  A queer, dystopian sci-fi about piecing together purpose from the fragments of love and loss, even while the world itself is tearing apart.    Get This Book On Amazon   The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers Publisher Hodder & Stoughton Narrator Patricia Rodriguez Synopsis Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2016. Longlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, 2016. Firefly meets Mass Effect in this thrilling self-published debut! When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The Wayfarer, a patched-up ship that's seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.  But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life onboard is chaotic but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.  Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years...if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful. But Rosemary isn't the only person onboard with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.    Get This Book On Amazon   The Princess Deception by Nell Stark Publisher Bold Strokes Books Narrator Nicola Victoria Vincent  Synopsis  When Sebastian, the Crown Prince of Belgium, overdoses on heroin shortly before he is set to launch Belgium's campaign to host the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament, his family manages to hush up the scandal. While the royals are debating how to proceed, Sebastian's twin sister Viola decides to impersonate him to keep Belgium's bid hopes alive.   Missy Duke is a freelance reporter covering Belgium's World Cup bid. A former women's soccer player whose career was sidelined by injury, she is now trying to break into the male-dominated sportscasting world. While in Belgium, she meets the imposter Sebastian and soon realizes that he is actually Viola. Sensing a big story in the making, Duke feigns ignorance and plays along with the charade.   Real sparks develop between the two women, but will the double deception doom this fairy-tale romance?  A Princess Affair romance   Get This Book On Amazon   Lise Talks About Her Writing We chat about Demon In The Machine by Lise MacTague Synopsis At the height of Britain’s Industrial Revolution, steam power and magic join forces to create wonders the world has never seen. But those wonders have a dark side―one that will soon force a reckoning few could have anticipated.  Half-demon Briar is content with her structured life as an archivist, a far cry from the chaos of her background and upbringing. Briar’s simple and predictable existence is rocked when she discovers something sinister powers one of the grand, new inventions of her era.  Isabella Castel, the only daughter of Viscount Sherard, is far from the brainless socialite she pretends to be. Isabella is everything Briar is not: passionate, creative and impulsive, but with secrets to rival even Briar’s own. Two more unlikely partners should not exist, yet if the women cannot find a way to work together, they will lose far more than their reputations.  Can a half-demon and a debutante work past their secrets before all hell breaks loose?   And I ask Lise these questions Your next book is about to be published and I am dying to know more.

Rob Wolf interviews Becky Chambers, author of the Wayfarer series. The first book, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Harper Voyager, 2016), was originally self-published then quickly picked up by a traditional publisher, garnering numerous accolades. It was shortlisted for, among other things, the Kitschies, a British Fantasy Award, and the Arthur C. Clarke Award. Her second book, A Closed and Common Orbit (Harper Voyager, 2017), was nominated this year for a Hugo for Best Novel and won the Prix Julia Verlanger. Billed as a space opera, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet does the unexpected: rather than focus on battles or threats to civilization it offers an intimate portrait of the relationships among the nine members of the Wayfarer spacecraft’s multi-species crew. And with A Closed and Common Orbit, Chambers does the unexpected again: rather than follow the Wayfarer’s crew on a new adventure, it focuses on two of the lesser characters from the first book, offering poignant coming-of-age portraits in a far-flung corner of the universe. In the interview, Chambers discusses how she creates new species and cultures in such convincing detail, why she decided to place humans in the humbling position of being a minor species in the universe, how being gay informs her sensibilities as an author, and the journey the The Long Way took to publication—from Kickstarter campaign to international acclaim. Rob Wolf is the author of The Alternate Universe and The Escape. He worked for many years as a journalist, writing on a wide range of topics from science to justice reform, and now serves as director of communications at a think tank in New York City.

Warp Drives #6: The Djinn Digression In this week's episode, TJ and Dave talk about seeing Radiotopia Live--we both loved Phoebe Judge's performance in the Criminal podcast. Then, we review this week's episode of American Gods (Head Full of Snow). We both liked the Anubis and djinn digressions, but the Shadow Moon story still felt a little slow. We both read up to issue #6 of World of Wakanda, spinoff of the Black Panther series. The Dora Milaje kick ass, but we're not sure why Black Panther needs bodyguards in the first place. Dave shares his new audiobook narration gig, Some Demon by Mel Murphy, which is available on Audible. And TJ talks about how she learned how to edit using Scrivener. Finally, the SciFi Dustup of the Day was the pronouncement of the Arthur C. Clarke Award shadow jury that the award is sliding too far into commercial writing. We wonder if commercial success or sophistication needs to be factored into awarding quality literature at all. Find us at warpdrives.wordpress.com and on Twitter @WarpDrives

Nancy Norbeck wrote her first story, inspired by her brother's case of chicken pox, when she was in fourth grade. She flirted with writing off and on over the years, but began to take it seriously in high school, and then in college. After teaching writing to English as a Second Language students for several years, and working on her own writing projects, she enrolled in Goddard College's MFA in creative writing program, which she completed in 2009. The Silver Child is her first novel. She currently works as a writing and creative process coach. Nancy is a longtime fan of Doctor Who and can often be found spoiling her two nephews rotten. She lives in New Jersey and loves to travel, especially when she can go back in time via a good book. For more information on current projects, upcoming releases, and coaching services, please subscribe at nancynorbeck.com or follow her on Twitter @NancyNorbeck. She would love to hear from you. Maia Starfield is on the run, having successfully hidden her ability to create silver just by singing—until government thugs arrived to take her away. Her mother sent her out the door just in time, giving her only one piece of advice: Find Dr. Martus. Albert Martus has no idea why Maia was sent to find him—the doctor who delivered her 17 years ago. But from the moment she turns up, his story becomes intertwined with hers…as it has been since before she was born. Follow this unlikely team as they discover the truth about the past and their present, the regime known as the Brotherhood, and the magical and ordinary power they each carry deep inside. “Nancy Norbeck's THE SILVER CHILD shows us a fantasy world that is all too real, ruled by a modern Inquisition that seeks to control minds and wipe out history. Maia, the Silver Child of the title, is a natural magician who has only the faintest awareness of her powers. More important, she is alive, a vividly drawn teenage girl who must discover who she is in a time of terror. The story is big, the characters both heroic and sweet.” ~Rachel Pollack, World Fantasy Award and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning novelist For more about Nancy you can check out nancynorbeck.com (generally speaking), and more specifically, the page for the course that just ended is at nancynorbeck.com/intuitive-writing.

That was Jack’s name for it, not because the game itself was antiquated—it was Texas Hold Em, the TV game, as Jack thought of it—but because of the venue, a private hotel room, comfortable, elegant even, yet unlicensed and by private invitation only, in the age of Indian casinos no more than a few hours drive from anywhere. ….

That was Jack’s name for it, not because the game itself was antiquated—it was Texas Hold Em, the TV game, as Jack thought of it—but because of the venue, a private hotel room, comfortable, elegant even, yet unlicensed and by private invitation only, in the age of Indian casinos no more than a few hours drive from anywhere. …. Rachel Pollack is the author of 35 books of fiction and non-fiction, including Unquenchable Fire, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and Godmother Night, winner of the World Fantasy Award. Rachel’s books have been translated into fourteen languages, and are sold all over the world. Rachel’s most recent work is The Burning Serpent...

He prefers to leave ambiguities to puzzle and intrigue his readers: "Some things are best left to the reader's very able imagination." McDevitt lives in Georgia with his wife Maureen, where he plays chess, reads mysteries, and eats lunch regularly with his cronies. And Jack McDevitt will be available at LepreCon 39, May 9-12th.
