Firstly because it happened, and this needs to be acknowledged in a much better and more constructive way, but also because whilst I knew about some aspects, I didn’t learn about many of the events and issues that I have tried to include even at secondary school.

I think what was the most interesting for me is that almost all of it felt like new information, and for someone who loves history, this was really engaging and drove me to keep finding out new information to ensure that the publication was fit for purpose.

The latest (but hopefully not the last) book in his amazing Children of Time series that started with spacefaring spiders and went on to include spacefaring sentient octopuses and a new truly alien knowledge-thirsty symbiote as well as a grumpy AI, Children of Memory continues the themes of the previous volumes - the question of personhood, the unity vs division, the “Us” vs “Them”, bridging the gap, and the intoxicating appeal of curiosity and knowledge.Īnd typical for Tchaikovsky, this doesn’t go exactly where you’d think it would, instead branching off in a direction that is way more interesting and thoughtful than I’d ever predict.
