I had a delightful two-hour podcast conversation this week with Tasshin, who describes himself as “an extremely online pilgrim wandering this precious world for the benefit of all beings.”
We came to know each other when he reviewed my novels Semiosis and Interference, examining ethical themes raised by the books, the world of Pax, and the character of Stevland. His review is long and deeply thoughtful, and I think it captures what I was trying to do.
You can watch our conversation here on YouTube, where there are also links to an audio version and a transcript. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
In other matters, the first short story I ever published, “Poet for Hire,” is available here. The background to the story is here.
In Tor.com’s Reviewers’ Choice: The Best Books of 2023, Matt Keeley calls Dual Memory “a satisfying thriller about art, climate, conspicuous consumption, and artificial intelligence. Burke remains one of our foremost science fiction writers.” Thanks, Matt!
