Expert System No. 2. Tor, 2021. Adrian Tchaikovsky is beginning to remind me of Octavia Butler in the way he creates alien ecosystems that may give even the least squeamish reader an uncomfortable moment. In this second Expert System novella, he creates some creatures that are weird even for a planet on which human beings are allergic to almost everything and are stung by wasps with nanotechnology that is not always as helpful as it was designed to be. The native faunae have their own surprises that help explain some of what happened to some of the original colonists. Competent and original scifi. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In Adrian Tchaikovsky's The Expert System's Champion, sometimes the ones you hate are the only ones that can save you. It's been ten years since Handry was wrenched away from his family and friends, forced to wander a world he no longer understood. But, with the help of the Ancients, he has cobbled together a life, of sorts, for himself and his fellow outcasts. Wandering from village to village, welcoming the folk that the townships abandon, fighting the monsters the villagers cannot-or dare not-his ever-growing band of misfits has become the stuff of legend, a story told by parents to keep unruly children in line. But, there is something new and dangerous in the world, and the beasts of the land are acting against their nature, destroying the towns they once left in peace. And, for the first time in memory, the Ancients have no wisdom to offer... No library descriptions found. |

The timeline is interspersed with cutbacks to the original settlers - or more importantly a splinter group who abandoned the original Landing to try better luck along the coasts. This jumps back and forth with the Outcasts, 10 years on, who now have an understanding with various villages and are trying to subtly introduce change. Something that is no more welcome to the AI tech, than in any other society. Obviously the two timelines intersect, featuring AC's typical invertebrate possibilities. ( )
