Children of Time: Great Sci-Fi Books Explained

In this episode of Great Sci-Fi Books Explained, I break down Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, the modern sci-fi epic in which jumping spiders evolve into a civilisation with cities, religion, warfare, living technology and eventually spacecraft. Children of Time is one of the great modern space-opera novels because it asks what intelligence might look like when it does not emerge from anything remotely human. 🚀🚀My new sci-fi book, Tao Solandis, is out now! 📖 Links to all the ways you can order - https://linktr.ee/scifiodyssey Check out these Tao Solandis reviews: "EVERYTHING SCIENCE FICTION CAN AND SHOULD BE." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" A DEEP AND ENGAGING READ THAT LEFT ME PONDERING..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "EACH STORY IS ORIGINAL, UNIQUE, AND UTTERLY COMPELLING...
