Podcasts about Semiosis

To celebrate the first anniversary of our podcast, Marty and Holly do a little retrospective to discuss their favorite books, people and interviews from the last year.  We discuss some of the best science fiction books we read: 'Red Team Blues' by Cory Doctorow, 'Semiosis' by Sue Burke, 'Neverness' by David Zindell, 'Night Owls' by Stephen Gay and 'The Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson.  We also talk about some of our favorite science books from this year:  'Planta Sapiens' by Paco Calvo, 'A Zoologist's Guide to the Galaxy' by Arik Kershenbaum and 'If Nietzsche Were A Narwhal' by Justin Gregg. We reflect on some of our favorite interviews - with Cory Doctorow, Stephen Gay and Ben Feist, Peter Watts and Justin Gregg, KSR and Heidi Sevestre. Then we do a bit of looking forward into what we have planned for the near future: interviews with Benjamin Percy on space fungus in 'The Unfamiliar Garden', Elan Mastai on time travel in 'All Our Wrong Todays', Daniel H. Wilson on his upcoming book 'Heliopause' and Avi Loeb about Oumuamua and first contact with alien technology in his book 'Extraterrestrial'.  Thank you to our listeners for giving us your attention and interest, and to all our guests for their expertise and insight, and to everyone for making this show a success and a wonderful experience!Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

In this episode we embark on a discussion of sci-fi botany, by way of Sue Burke's novel 'Semiosis' and its sequel 'Interference'.  We talk about a lot of interesting and surprising properties of plant behaviour that you may not be aware of, and how Sue worked these ideas into her main character Steveland and his interaction with human colonists on a planet named Pax.  We talk about the symbiosis of domestication between people and plants - and between buffalo and grass, Charles Darwin and his seminal work on plant movement, plants murdering each other and insects, plant sensory capabilities, their mental health, and how we might treat them better.  Along the way we learn things about tulips, apples, oranges and even giant ground sloths!  We also discuss Sue's newer books 'Immunity Index' about a coronavirus pandemic - which she wrote *before* the Covid-19 pandemic - and 'Dual Memory', which has recently arrived on bookstore shelves.  She is currently hard at work on the third installation of the Semiosis trilogy, 'Usurpation', due to be published in Oct 2024. Sue Burke: https://sueburke.site/Publications | Sue Burkehttps://sueburke.site/publications/Semiosis: A Novel : Burke, Sue: Amazon.ca: Books: https://www.amazon.ca/Semiosis-Novel-Sue-Burke/dp/076539135XBuzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

Marty and Holly finish up their discussion of 'Neverness' by David Zindell from the last two episodes, and then have a conversation about the books we'll be talking about over the course of the next few episodes.  Our next topic will be 'intelligent plants', so we discuss Sue Burke's 'Semiosis' and 'Interference' duology, ahead of our upcoming interviews with her and Paco Calvo.  Then we move on to consider a range of Cory Doctorow's fiction, discussing his latest book 'Red Team Blues' (2023) and his upcoming novel 'The Lost Cause', (November 2023), in addition to a favorite of ours, called 'Walkaway' (2017).  Coupling these to a scientific topic, we talk about economics in his non-fiction book with Rebecca Giblin, 'Chokepoint Capitalism', which ties together many of the themes in Cory Doctorow's work.David Zindell | Author - https://www.davidzindell.com/Sue Burke - https://sueburke.site/Cory Doctorow's craphound.com | Cory Doctorow's Literary Works - https://craphound.com/Buzzsprout (podcast host):https://thescienceinthefiction.buzzsprout.comEmail: thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/Twitter:https://twitter.com/MartyK5463

In  this episode, we review Semiosis by Sue Burke.  Sue has written a fascinating duology that features a sentient plant on a far-flung planet who must contend with human colonists. On Science Fiction - Science Fact we wonder about the ISS falling from the sky.  On Trivia, we find another reason to say 'Lagrange point' (it's fun, admit it), and a 2000-year-old laptop lands one of our hosts a prize from your childhood.

Semiosis von Sue Burke

Let's say I show you and our friend Gavagai a box of chocolates, and then Gav leaves the room, and I show you that the box actually contains coloured pencils. (Big letdown, sorry.) When Gav comes back in the room a minute later, and we've closed the box again, what are they going to think is in the box? In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about Theory of Mind -- our ability to keep track of what other people are thinking, even when it's different from what we know ourselves. We talk about the highly important role of gossip in the development of language, reframing how we introduce people to something they haven't heard of yet, and ways of synchronizing mental states across groups of people, from conferences to movie voiceovers. Announcements: This month's bonus episode is about some of the linguistically interesting fiction we've been reading lately! We talk about the challenges of communicating with sentient plants (from the plant's perspective) in Semiosis by Sue Burke, communicating with aliens by putting babies in pods (look, it was the 1980s) in Suzette Haden Elgin's classic Native Tongue, communicating with humans on a sailing ship using a sorta 19th century proto-internet in Courtney Milan's The Devil Comes Courting, and taking advantage of the difficulty of translation in communicating poetry across cultures in A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. https://www.patreon.com/lingthusiasm Join us on Patreon to listen to this and 53 other bonus episodes.

Eva Salgado nos platica sobre su artículo “Memes y procesos de semiosis de la pandemia en México” en el que explica el papel de los memes que emergieron y circularon durante el año 2020 con la pandemia por el COVID-19. Asimismo, la autora argumenta que estos memes contraen diversos elementos que refuerzan los discursos digitales como la discriminación y la exclusión, propagan ideologías globales, son vehículo para la expresión colectiva de emociones y fueron un recurso semiótico para reforzar procesos súbitos y masivos de coerción semiótica (como la sana distancia o el confinamiento) o para contribuir a la reconversión semiótica que ha implicado la “nueva normalidad”.   Puedes consultar el artículo aquí: http://www.comunicacionysociedad.cucsh.udg.mx/index.php/comsoc/article/view/e7906

We begin this week’s episode by acknowledging the passing of Chadwick Boseman, talking a bit about his impact, his legacy, and the grief so many of us have felt in response to the loss.Our main topic this week is the incendiary series I May Destroy You, written by and starring the staggeringly talented Michaela Cole. Our conversation covers the revelatory way in which the show frankly and honestly confronts so many forms of rape and sexual assault, and a larger culture that normalizes and perpetuates them. We also discuss the remarkable complexity of the show’s central characters, as they often make choices that we as viewers may strenuously object to, but never in a way that reduces them to villains or makes them seem worthy of being written off as people.  Time Stamps:1:40 - Reacting to the Passing of Chadwick Boseman8:50  - I May Destroy You46:45 - What’s Your FREQ-Out: Carolyn on Episode 3 of Lovecraft Country, Ebony on P-Valley, Anita on Semiosis by Sue BurkeFollow Us:Join our Patreon Our WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsTwitterInstagram

Feedback Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes (rec’d by Suzanne) Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married by Marion Keyes and Kate Bowler’s book Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I’ve Loved (rec’d by Kristi) Books Discussed 1. Just a note to say that I’ve discovered your podcast and Book Riot in general, really, as a result of quarantine, and I appreciate all of it more than you know. I listen to many episodes of all the BR podcasts each day while working from home, and I’ve built a BR TBR of over 300 books! So, thanks for feeding my rediscovery of a passion and hobby that I missed dearly! One of the first Get Booked recs that I bought, read, and loved was Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert. I could relate to it so much! I have cerebral palsy, and my twin has always seen a need to be maternal toward me, leaving me longing for a true sister relationship rather than feeling like I have multiple mothers and no sisters. The book really helped me to understand that I’m not alone in having a maternalistic sibling, but it also gave me glimpses into a true sibling relationship. Our birthday is in mid-June, and I’d love to gift my sister books like L&L but also books in which the sibling with a disability is a hero/heroine as opposed to the non disabled ones, just as a way to start some dialogue between us! Thanks so much! -Erin 2. I need help finding a book for my mom. She has been in a reading slump for a while and it sucks cause she is my reading buddy and I want her to keep reading with me! She is very picky in what she wants to read. She likes to read heavy adult fantasy (it can be ya) books that have kingdoms, dragons, creatures, and elves (she loves elves). She does prefer for it to have a female leading character that is powerful. Not a lot of sex or vivid description of sex scenes would be preferred. She loved the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas and really any other book by her. She did not like The Hobbit or lord of the rings but she did like The Inheritance  Cycle series by Christopher Paolini. Thank u and please help me cause I miss my reading buddy . – Madison Terry 3. Hello!  Looking for some fantastic audiobook recommendations as I have a few credits expiring this month!  As a school librarian, I read all over the place both genre- and age- wise.  Just looking for books that are particularly best when consumed in audio format! -Rachael 4. Hi I am 13 and looking for a book about witches. I want a book female lead where she is a badass. I would like some sort of romantic arc. Some of my favorite tropes are enemies to friends to lovers or friends to lovers. I also really like books where the ex of the main character is still in the plot. Some books I have read and loved were “How to Hang a Witch” by Adriana Mather and “These Witches Won’t Burn” . I would also love a book about a mixed race kid coming to terms about their sexuality.  -Lili 5. Hi Amanda and Jen!  Thank you so much for your wonderful weekly podcast. You keep a healthy stack on my TBR with all your great recs.  I’m looking for a book (or series) to get on audiobook for my husband for Father’s Day. He has a 2.5 hour commute to work right now and needs something to help him get through it. He loves adventure high fantasy and prefers door stoppers or series for obvious reasons. He is moving through the Red Rising series now which he is loving. Tolkien is his all time favorite author. He has also enjoyed Game of Thrones,  Name of the Wind and The Expanse series . Please help me find him something else that will help keep him occupied for a couple weeks.  Thank you!  -Sarah 6. I am requesting recommendations for my partner, Branden. He is an avid outdoorsman – enjoys hunting, fishing, hiking, all things active outside. He also loves reading, mostly mystery and general fiction. He gets VERY into specific type of book – outdoorsman mysteries. His favorites are the Craig Johnson Longmire mysteries, and the Sean Stranahan mysteries by Keith McCafferty. He also likes the Jack Reacher series, less outdoorsy but fun. I’d love some other recommendations for that type of book as it’s so specific. Bonus points for the protagonist being a hunter, fisherman, etc.  I attached his Goodreads below. Also terribly sorry if you have gotten this question. I haven’t listened to all episodes so please direct me if you have!!!  -Alicia 7. I have been trying to read more science fiction. I recently read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and absolutely loved it. It made me really think and question what it means to be human and whether being human is even a good thing. I am trying to find a book that also tackles this subject in a clever and unique way. Bonus points if there is romance and/or steamy-ness. Bonus points if there is a strong female character that kicks butt and takes name but doesn’t necessarily have to be the main protagonist.  -Sam Books Discussed A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Bridgid Kemmerer The Pretty One by Keah Brown (tw: discussion of suicidal ideation, racism, ableism) Wicked Fox by Kat Cho The Element of Fire by Martha Wells (cw: abusive parent) The Third Rainbow Girl by Emma Copley Eisenberg (TW murder) Bluebird Bluebird by Attica Locke, narrated by JD Jackson (cw: racial slurs) Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood Odd One Out by Nic Stone Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett (tw slavery) The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu   The Lost Man by Jane Harper (tw rape, domestic violence, child abuse) As Long As We Both Shall Live by JoAnn Chaney (tw: violence towards women & children, including imprisonment, rape, child abuse, domestic violence; suicide, graphic violence) Semiosis by Sue Burke Xenogenesis/Lilith’s Brood by Octavia Butler (tw: compulsion/coercion, tentacles) (Dawn #1)

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.

[A note: the content warnings at the beginning also apply to the episode as a whole. We talk about a lot of it in depth in a way that might be uncomfortable for some listeners. This episode is probably even less appropriate for younger children than normal due to that.] We're back having read An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon (https://amzn.to/2OMpWie), and here to talk about it in depth!  We have a pretty far-ranging conversation about the ideas in the book, from how to be a friend and ally, to when violent revolution is necessary, to discussing the large social structures of the ship & the real world. We don't disagree about much, but we manage to argue a lot anyway! And towards the end we get to answering some of the existential questions we asked of ourselves in the post-read. Stick around for the end to hear about what we're doing in December & early 2020 as well.

Through journeys and struggles, with the power of friendship, we did it! We recorded another episode, this time talking about Max Gladstone's latest solo novel, Empress of Forever (https://amzn.to/2ykpSOU).  We both really enjoyed this book, and were really happy to get to read a novel by a previous guest. We start the episode off with Matt explaining the ways in which the book is & is not a science fictional adaptation of the Chinese epic novel Journey to the West, and then spend a lot of time discussing redemption and forgiveness and how those two things work in this novel, and how they should work in an ideal world. Also, Orn! This was a fun book to read & fun episode to record (even if Adrian was a little loopy & feverish), so we hope you enjoy it. Some of the works mentioned in the episode (links at spectology.com if they don't show up here): * Monkey: Folk Novel of China trans. by Arthur Whaley (Matt's recommended translation of Journey to the West) * Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny * Contact by Carl Sagan * Our previous episodes on Ten Billion Days & 100 Billion Nights, Semiosis, Brown Girl in the Ring, Ninefox Gambit, Binti, & "The Star"  --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod, sending us an email at spectologypod@gmail.com, or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit.

This episode contains a cautionary tale about asking us to review your book. We also welcome Vivian the librarian back to the studio!

To celebrate having been at the podcast for one full year, Matt & Adrian are joined by Kevin Kelsey of Heradas.com as we make our most self-indulgent pick yet: Dark Eden, by Chris Beckett (https://amzn.to/2TRcpX0). Join us for a somewhat self-reflective episode on why this is one of our favorite books, and why we think everyone should read it. It has linguistics, it has sociology, it has long time scales, it has survival in a harsh world, it has society building, it has a page-turning story, and it is probably the book we've mentioned the most on this podcast without actually reading and talking about it in its own episodes. Kevin joins us to help us ground the conversation for folks who haven't read the book yet, and in a few weeks we'll all three dig into the rich thematic depth of this novel. Some other works mentioned include: - Chris's Q&A on the SF Book Club subreddit - Chris on his history being labeled disabled - NK Jemisin's review of Dark Eden in the NY Times - Review by a juror on the Arthur C. Clarke award- Our own episodes on Children of Time, Romie Futch, Gnomon, & Semiosis - Ice by Anna Kavan - The Helliconia Trilogy by Brian Aldiss - Lord of the Flies by William Golding - And if you're in the UK, pre-order Beckett's new book, Beneath the World, A Sea  (As always, links are at spectology.com if they don't show up in your podcatcher.)  --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod, sending us an email at spectologypod@gmail.com, or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit.

Matt, Nate, & Adrian have a long, rollicking conversation about Semiosis, by Sue Burke (https://amzn.to/2JGYm6C). We all really loved the book, but also have a lot of criticism of it, and we get really in-depth on what it all means to us.  The only other books we really mention are Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovski and Dark Eden by Chris Beckett. Look for our 8.1 & 8.2 episode numbers for discussion on CoT, and look out for our episodes on Dark Eden next month! In addition, if you want to go deeper on how ecologies aren't stable and why thinking so leads to bad utopias, the 2nd episode in the documentary All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace will be right up your alley. You might also enjoy the book Seeing Like A State by James C. Scott. Finally, big thanks to Nate for suggesting this book and talking to us about it for over 3 hours over these two episodes. Find his videogame on Steam Early Access by searching Ectolibrium. Also thanks to Nate's wife, Amanda, for the artwork this month, she's at @@amandalamandala on Instagram. --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod, sending us an email at spectologypod@gmail.com, or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit.

If you like stories about Alaska, then this is the episode for you! Author, game developer, and Adrian's childhood friend Nate Spence is this month's guest, discussing the ecological survival SF novel Semiosis by Sue Burke (https://amzn.to/2TceBgh). In the novel, a small group of humans tries to colonize what seems like a wilderness planet. The novel follows their survival & evolution of their society over generations. In this episode, we talk a lot about growing up in wilderness areas and what it's like. What's a pushki? What did Nate's dad teach him in lieu of tying his shoes? Where did Matt bleed from on his Alaska hiking trip and why? How can Adrian possibly defend hitting an owl with his car? What search terms about Alaska do we not suggest you image search? We can't promise we answer these questions, but we'll sure talk about them.  We'll also go over the usual book facts, while trying hard not to spoil what is an interesting, different, and so far very fun to read book!Also, thanks to Amanda Hart, Nate's wife, for supplying our cover artwork this month! Check out her instagram, @amandalamandala. Resources mentioned (go to spectology.com if the links don't show up in your podcatcher): * Nate's most recent game, Ectolibrium, on Steam Early Access * Ectolibrium discounted in the IndieGala Bundle (not pay what you want tho)* Dark Eden Trilogy by Chris Beckett * Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer* The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K Le Guin * Embassytown by China Miéville* Station 11 by Emily St. John Mandel * Article about the Russian Orthodox Old Believers in Alaska * Correction: Alaska is the 8th least white state, but has the highest percentage of indigenous people of any state --- We'd love to hear from you, either by chatting with us on twitter at @spectologypod, sending us an email at spectologypod@gmail.com, or submitting the episode to r/printSF on reddit.
