Hugo 26 Novel: Shroud
Adrian Tchaikovsky’s prolific career includes a range of genres and settings, but if he excels among his contemporaries in one area, it is writing about non-human (and yet comprehensible) minds.

Project Hail Mary: What If Your Hero Moment Has to Drag You First?
What does courage mean in your own life if heroism does not arrive as a choice but as a crisis that drags you forward before you feel ready?

Die 5 liebsten Aliens
Die 5 liebsten Aliens – von Albtraumgestalten bis kosmischen Rätseln. Welche Kreaturen wählt ihr? 🌑🪐👽🧬🛸🌌👁️
Diese Woche wollen wir uns in die unergründlichen Weiten des Kosmos begeben. Doch wir ergründen heute nicht das Weltall, Sternensysteme oder ferne Planeten, sondern die Wesen, die jenseits unserer Atmosphäre existieren. Ich suche mit euch die 5 liebsten Aliens. Und damit meine ich nicht nur die knuffigen, liebevollen Besucher, die wir uns problemlos ins Wohnzimmer setzen würden. Euer Favorit darf genauso gut ein biomechanisches Albtraumgeschöpf sein. Oder eine leere Hülle, die Menschlichkeit nur imitiert. Hier sind euch alle Freiheiten gegeben.
Vielleicht begegnen wir heute Wesen, die wir lieber nicht im Dunkeln treffen würden. Vielleicht aber auch solchen, die uns mehr über uns selbst verraten als über das Universum. Welche Aliens warten in euren Köpfen darauf, ans Licht zu kommen?
What if somebody else wrote it?
I’m still thinking about Project Hail Mary. Honestly, I’m not trying to fix the book or the film, both of which I did genuinely enjoy, but once these odd niggling thoughts happen, then I write about them, and you have to read them. That’s the deal. The niggling thought came from thinking about the direction of the film from the book. The nature of a film adaptation is a change in the emphasis…
