ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“Children of Time” by Adrian Tchaikovsky explores the journey of humanity’s last survivors as they flee a dying Earth, seeking refuge on a distant, terraformed planet. However, the planet’s previous terraforming efforts have led to unexpected consequences, including the evolution of a new, intelligent species. The story focuses on the clash between humanity, struggling to survive, and the rapidly advancing civilization of spiders. Themes of evolution, survival, artificial intelligence, and the ethics of creation are central, raising questions about what it means to be human and the potential for other forms of sentience to inherit the Earth.
