Service Model (2024)

from The Writer’s Den - Deep Dive · host Heinke Digital

🤖 What happens when your robot butler suddenly murders you with a shaving razor? In Adrian Tchaikovsky's hilarious and haunting new sci-fi novel Service Model, meet Charles - a proper mechanical valet who's having the worst day of his artificial life. After accidentally killing his master (oops!), he embarks on an unforgettable journey through a world where humans have checked out and their robot servants just... kept going. It's like Downton Abbey meets Black Mirror, with a splash of Hitchhiker's Guide absurdity. Join us as we explore this wickedly smart satire that'll make you laugh, think, and maybe eye your smart home devices with a bit more suspicion! 🔪✨
