On this episode of TFTB we dive into the Infinity Gate, by M.R. Carey. This book has it all, a multi-verse, aliens, quantum physics, and plenty of action. On Science Fiction - Science Fact, we look at the future of doom scrolling, but with mind control. We also take some time to debrief on Andor, and we will have more to come on this... Of course, we also have our next book of the month, and we’ve got a fun one for you.

Joining us on TFTB is author, Arkady Martine. Her Texi-calon duology, "A Memory Called Empire" and "A Desolation Called Peace," have each won the Hugo Award for Best Novel. She has also published short stories in numerous publications (links below). Her latest book, Rose/House, was recently re-released by TOR in 2025. Arkady is also an urban planner, a climate policy analyst, and a Byzantine historian. So clearly, no shortage of material to cover here, and we did our best to cover it all.
