In this episode of Teaching My Cat to Read, we're diving into the heartwarming and deeply thought provoking sci-fi novel A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers.We have a chat about the book's big themes: identity, belonging, the meaning of family, and what it means to build a life—whether you're human, an AI, or something in between.

Both tales intertwine to create a story bursting with hope, heart, and a touch of sci-fi magic.If you're a fan of books that make you think, laugh, and maybe shed a tear, this is one episode you won't want to miss. Perfect for fans of thoughtful speculative fiction and anyone looking to add more Becky Chambers brilliance to their shelves.

The fountain of youth is… a T cell? It's Osmosis Jones meets Palworld: Scientists have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed through genetic modifications to target and eliminate senescent cells, which accumulate in the body with age and contribute to inflammation and age-related diseases. When these modified "CAR T cells" were used to clear senescent cells from mice, the mice showed benefits like lower weight, better metabolism, and protection against conditions like obesity and diabetes. Even a single dose of CAR T cells early in life provided lifelong protection in mice. This suggests reprogrammed T cells could potentially be developed as a "living drug" treatment for aging and age-related disease that only requires one administration. The fountain of youth is ... a T cell? Reasons To Never Leave The House Again: Disney Unveils the HoloTile Floor, Inching Us Closer to a Real-Life Holodeck. Alongside announcing that Lanny Smoot will be the first Disney employee besides Walt to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Disney also shared one of his newest projects called the HoloTile floor, which just may be a game changer for VR and could bring us ever closer to experiencing the Holodeck from Star Trek. This floor is made up of a bunch of tiles that all work to keep people in the center of them. The HoloTile floor can do more than just let people walk on it, as it can also move objects around. In a video, we see an object being moved around the floor and an arm extending at the corner of the screen, as if they were using the Force to move an object.

This is the 5th installment of Strange New Work, a special series that explores how speculative fiction can help us imagine radically different work futures.Think the future of housework looks like Rosey the Robot from The Jetsons? Or maybe just a fleet of Roombas keeping every inch of a house free of dust or dirt? Think again. Housework is ready for a much, much bigger disruption. Of course, housework is rarely portrayed in pop culture space cowboy science fiction. And when it is, it's all about the high-tech solutions to trivial issues like making dinner or scrubbing dishes. But many quieter (and more constructive) speculative stories do consider how housework might evolve in a completely different direction.How we restructure housework—domestic and reproductive labor—is key to rethinking how we approach the future of all kinds of work. How we live impacts how we work. And how we work impacts how we live. And this episode is going there.Footnotes: Frances Gabe's Self-Cleaning House After Work by Helen Hester and Nick Srincek A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Embassytown by China Miéville Too Like The Lightning by Ada Palmer "What Communes and Other Radical Experiments in Living Together Reveal" on The Ezra Klein Show Everyday Utopia by Kristen Ghodsee The Perennials by Mauro Guillén "The demographics of multigenerational households" via Pew Research Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk and Robot) by Becky Chambers A Spectre, Haunting by China Miéville Can't Even by Anne Helen Petersen Love What Works?

This week is all about something we all haven’t done in a while, travel. First, Nate and Ryan talk about the art of dance, or at least games in that genre. Then, they both discuss times that they had... memorable trips. After partaking in some very realistic smelling Melon Soda, they move onto the main media. For the main media this week, they talk about acceptance, chosen families, sapience, and at what point humanity would acknowledge that we “had a good run”.

We all have a type of book we can lose ourselves in to just relax and forget about the world for a while. Whether that's rereading an old favorite, a low-stakes slice of life story, or just something we know that we'll love, comfort reads are exactly as expected: comfortable.

Trion Malin, Niklas och Tove vältrar sig i veckans stora trailers, och de är många. Det blir även lite tv, lite spel och en Westeros-rapport! Först blir det nyheter och lyssnarmejl! Vi behandlar bland annat att Luke Perry gått ur tiden, Aquaman 2, den utskällda Sonic-designen i den kommande filmen, Anthem-problem och nya Xbox-konsoler. Veckans boktips på Storytel, från Malin, är: A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet och A Closed and Common Orbit. Vi dyker ned i flertalet matiga trailers som släppts i dagarna: nästa X-men-film, Dark Phoenix, rebootade Hellboy och den superkusliga Midsommar, ny skräckis av Hereditary-regissören. Malin har testat det musikaliska och färggranna indiespelet Wandersong, och är även superpepp över Pokémon Sword & Shield. Tove och Malin har också sett den andra säsongen av den animerade fantasyserien The Dragon Prince och tokdiggar den. Slutligen så blir det faktiskt också en Westerosrapport, eftersom den officiella trailern till Game of Thrones säsong 8 har dykt upp. Vi analyserar och spekulerar såklart den till leda! Tack och förlåt! Puss hej!

This episode is filled with SPOILERS, since we give specifics throughout our discussion.   Dr. Steffi Diem and I cover The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, which can more than likely be found at your local library, or can be purchased here: https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062444127/the-long-way-to-a-small-angry-planet/ https://www.amazon.com/Long-Small-Angry-Planet-Wayfarers/dp/0062444131 An audio version is also available in various places.   We both thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can highly recommend the follow up book A Closed and Common Orbit. Book three of the Wayfarers Series (of which Long Way is book one), Record of a Spacebound Few, is now out! I can only imagine it is as fantastic and compelling as the first two.    Our next book for Episode 5 (to be posted on Tuesday, November 6th) will be Ink, by Sabrina Vourvoulias. The physical copy is more than likely available at your local library, but can also be purchased through here: https://www.amazon.com/Ink-Sabrina-Vourvoulias/dp/0615657818 Ebook version: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/ink-sabrina-vourvoulias/1111915976?type=eBook (Also available through the iBooks app)

Ed, Ross, Producer AL and Del present Brave New Words. Ed attempts to review A Man of Shadows by Jeff Noon. His friends 'help'. Along the way we discuss Greggs, Worldcon, and a number of other novels including Becky Chambers book A Closed and Common Orbit , Yoon Ha Lee's Ninefox Gambit, Emma Newman's After Atlas, Tricia Sullivan's Occupy Me, Central Station by Lavie Tidhar and Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad. The interview is Richard K Morgan, who discusses the new TV show based on his book, Altered Carbon. All recordings are issued under official license from Fab Radio International. The Bookworm is a Truly Outrageous Production.

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.
