About this ebook
A schism, anywhere else. Not in Mississauga. Not in a land of landed migrants; not in a country mosaic'd together from the myriad landscapes of the globe. Here, Henryk Zdicz, Atlas Sangman, Simon Arcan, and Martin O'Neill form a profound friendship that helps each find life in all Life. Arranged in haibun vignettes, the Homeboys' everyday shananigans and illuminations compose a mirror of urban millenial life.

A sequel, “Children of Ruin,” is about a society run by superintelligent octopuses. I love these books. They’re remarkably serious about their premises, and by the end, it’s human civilization and our limited sensorium that come to seem strange. But Tchaikovsky’s latest book, “Children of Memory,” ostensibly about crows, read as something very different to me: the best fictional representation I’ve read of what it is like to interact with, and perhaps even be, an artificial intelligence system like ChatGPT. It was a very strange read at this moment. And it made possible an episode I’ve been wanting to do for months. Long before we have to face the question of whether A.I. is sentient, we will have to face the question of whether it is creative, and that will turn into the question of whether we, truly, are creative.
