Hey, you reading this, I think you should read the Dogs of War books. They're extremely relevant for a lot of reasons right now.

Hey, you reading this, I think you should read the Dogs of War books. They're extremely relevant for a lot of reasons right now.
Hate when I finish a book series and am overwhelmed with desire to yap about because all the characters and themes and concepts are living like bees in my brain (Or Bees, as it were--) only to look it up and find that maybe five people have read them
Anyways, read Dogs of War
Adrian Tchaikovsky had to do it. For the meme.
gotta stop picking up Adrian Tchaikovsky books before bed because it's half past ten and I'm rampaging around with the transgender prince of the Mad Max cosplayers and the it/its adrenaline junkie ADHD lizard and Evil Bees
the best thing a science fiction story can be is a fairy tale, actually
new imagery and methods and contexts to tell emotionally resonant symbolic stories
the scifi aspects aren't the point, they're just the means
sometimes a witch is an ancient uploaded intelligence running on ants
sometimes a wolf is the mind of an alien simulation engine
sometimes magic is console commands
sometimes a heraldic symbolic monster is an uplifted cyborg dog bioform who was just an electrical engineer back on mars where she's from
and yet the girl lost in the forest is real, and the forest is real, and the witch is real, and the wolf is real, and the monster is real, and the magic is real
is it scifi?
is it a fairy tale?
is it eldritch horror?
yes.
because what constitutes clarketech is a matter of perspective, in the end
Yay Bee Speaker (novel) comes out tomorrow! Though I'm probably going to try save it for when I get back to work in a few weeks.
At 33% of Bee speaker and I love Irae and the shade thrown at these fascist billionaires. Like damn, get their ass, sir
im so fucking hype for june 3rd now
fuck yeah more Bees
i missed my unhinged unintentionally exponentially intelligent biomechanical neumann-capable swarm intelligence Bees
she's also just an ever-increasing variety of self-modifying cyborg bees
she's Bees
