Tales From The Bridge

In this episode of TFTB, we review  Shards of Earth, an ambitious new space opera from one of our favorite authors, Adrian Tchaikovsky.  In Science Fiction - Science Fact, we meet the kind of AI robot that you can introduce to your Mom (and not worry about it enslaving her). We also discuss some of the other books that we're reading and dig into some Star Trek trivia.

On this episode of TFTB, we sit down with Sci-Fi and Fantasy author Adrian Tchaikovsky.  We look at how faster than light travel has an impact on story-telling. We also meet some disaffected insects and discuss the trouble with Dune. A prolific author with world-building skills that leave his readers in awe, this conversation does not disappoint.

In this episode, Kevin, Marty, and Tristan sit down with science fiction author and futurist, Karl Schroeder. We discuss science fiction influences and current reads. In his latest novel Stealing Worlds, Karl creates an ambitious "near-future cyberpunk thriller about economic revolutionaries, surveillance capitalism, augmented-reality live-action role-playing, and burglary".  He also lets us know why Star Wars and Star Trek both suck.

On this episode of TFTB we review Andy Weir's latest book Project Hail Mary. You may have enjoyed Andy's last novel (and movie), The Martian, which was a big hit, and we will see if his follow-up meets the high standard he has set for himself. We also discuss billionaires in space, Batman, and The Court of Owls, and wind things up with some trivia.
