Tales From The Bridge: Science Fiction Books and Authors

On this episode of TFTB we review The Expanse - the whole series, by James S.A. Corey. We are big fans of these novels, and the show, so if you're into the Expanse, or happen to be Expanse-curious, this is the episode for you. We also challenge the idea that Mars is the best planetary neighbour for colonization, and circle back to Karl Schroeder's argument for Venus. We'll also share what other sci-fi books, comics, and shows that we're enjoying such as Dune Part 2 and G.I Joe . As always, hang on to the end to find out what our next book of the month is.

In this episode we review The Thousand Earths, by Stephen Baxter. This was an interesting book, but we're not in agreement on this one. On Science Fiction - Science Fact we look at bringing loved ones back from the dead using AI. If this sounds like a Black Mirror episode you'd be right. We also get into the book of the month, and we've got a pretty great pick for you this month.
