Adrian Tchaikovsky

Recently enjoyed Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky although it’s a novella. Also Inverted World by Christopher Priest. Neither are dumb but neither are super challenging.

🦾 Grounded near-future sci-fi dealing with the sentience/humanity of machines/robots but nothing directly AI-related. Think Becky Chambers’ A Psalm for the Wild-Built, TJ Klune’s In the Lives of Puppets, Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Service Model, and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun. 3/

Traveling to #ASAP2026 for a great-looking panel on Group Formations Saturday at 10:45 led by @elizabethalsop.bsky.social . I'll be doing a B-side to my book, talking about kinds of science-fictional collectivity and Adrian Tchaikovsky's *Alien Clay*.

CITY OF LAST CHANCES, Adrian Tchaikovsky

Sabine’s Gull on the seawatch, 5 Yellow-browed Warbler on the outer head with 2 Barnacle Geese, 4 Jays, Cetti’s Warbler and 37 Siskin with 3 Brambling at rspb Bempton. Full details here flamboroughbirdobs.org.uk….

Nothing says ‘simple game system’ in a ttrpg than numerical stats with other numbers, and sometimes equations, in parenthesis after them.

@aptshadow.bsky.social I have to ask, have you ever thought that Bear Head was just maybe a little too prescient?

Remake Ladyhawke but instead of her turning into a hawk and him into a wolf they each turn into different random animals each time.
