Tales From The Bridge

On this episode of TFTB we dive into a science fiction (science fantasy?) classic; A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Featured in the final season of Stranger Things, this beloved YA novel won the Newbery Medal, and was adapted into a 2018 feature film with a mega-cast. The book remains persistently relevant, with it's themes of good vs. evil, individualism vs. conformity, and innocence to experience.  
On Science Fiction-Science Fact we look into the autonomous robots that are being developed for moon exploration. A research team from KAIST, the Unmanned Exploration Research Institute, KASI, KARI, and Hanyang University are up to some interesting things. Hopefully we won't make the same mistakes as Starfleet.
Of course we’ll take a look at some of the other media we’re reading and watching. We’ve also got a very cool new book that we’re reading this month, so make sure to hang out until the end to find out.

On this episode of TFTB, we'll discuss Alastair Reynolds' House of Suns. It's acid-trip science fiction, and we had a lot of fun chatting about it. On Science Fiction-Science Fact, we look at some AI news from Davos, namely that Generative AI may develop survival instincts we need to worry about. 
We'll also take a look at some of the other content we're reading and watching, and, of course, we'll announce our next Book Club read.

Hugh Howey is back on The Bridge, and you’re going to enjoy this one. Naturally we have the latest on Silo as this acclaimed series heads into its third season. We get a peek at some of Hugh’s upcoming projects, which are pretty exciting.
We also have an enlightening conversation on artificial intelligence, and writing vs. authoring. Ai is a pretty divisive topic right now, and a nuanced conversation can help cut through the noise. We’ve never had a chat with Hugh where we didn’t leave with a slightly new perspective, and you may as well.
So! Lots to cover in this episode, let’s make our way over to The Bridge!

TFTB Film Club is back, and apologies in advance. Our Film Clubbers decided to review the much maligned, Jupiter Ascending from 2015. When this came out, the unfortunate reviewer assigned from The Guardian called this film “…absolute nonsense” with “…dialogue that would make George Lucas cringe.” 
For reasons we can’t truly justify, we’re bringing it back. Come circle the drain with us one more time, we promise to make it fun.
