We’ve all accidentally murdered our bosses and then run off. That’s like a Tuesday for me.
But in Adrian Tchaikovsky humorous science fiction novel Service Model (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), the murderer on the run is not a middle-aged man, but a robot. And a robot butler at that.
In the following email interview, Tchaikovsky discusses what inspired and influenced this sci-fi story, which he says is “Mad Max starring C-3PO.”
Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke famously once said, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” It’s an idea that fellow science fiction (and fantasy) writer Adrian Tchaikovsky is putting to the test in his new sci-fi / fantasy novella Elder Race (paperback, Kindle). In the following email interview, Tchaikovsky explains what inspired and influenced this genre-mashing story.
We sometimes think of science fiction and fantasy as being like estranged relatives who are connected but never associate with each other. This despite such things as Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel A Wrinkle In Time, the Star Wars saga, and the Destiny games, all which melds elements of both seamlessly. It is to that list that we can now add The Expert System’s Brother (paperback, Kindle), a new sci-fi fantasia novella by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
