Interview with Adrian Tchaikovsky on Other worlds, science fiction and spider ecology
Adrian Tchaikovsky is the author of several award-winning science fiction novels and short stories, including Children of Time, which won the 2016 Arthur C. Clarke Prize and the 2023 Hugo Prize.
His stories often include imaginative animal characters. Dogs of War features animal-robot hybrids with advanced weapon systems: a grenade-throwing bear, a unit commanding dog, and a swarm of bees that can put to sleep or kill with its stings.
His latest book is Alien Clay, and his next book Service Model will be released in June.
We spoke in March 2024.
