Two Adrians come together in one night of science fiction discussion! Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of award-winning novels including Children of Time, and Adrian J. Walker, author of acclaimed novels including The Last Dog On Earth, join us to discuss their latest books, both brilliant books taking very different angles on our climate crisis...In Firewalkers, Adrian Tchaikovsky looks at the failing climate of the world, at the ultra-rich escaping it... and at the poor left behind, and how they must serve the rich to survive as best they can. In The Human Son, genetically engineered beings have inherited the Earth, fixed climate change... and have seen humanity die; now, they have created one, to see if Homo sapiens can be reintroduced. And in The Doors of Eden, Adrian Tchaikovsky has written a thriller of parallel worlds coming together... and the things that are coming through the cracks.These two brilliant authors, chaired by Meg MacDonald of the Glasgow in 2024 Worldcon bid, will be talking about responses to climate change, about envisioning the end of the world, about writing fiction in turbulent political times, and more, in an evening not to be missed!
