A novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Award-winning master of science fiction Adrian Tchaikovsky brings readers a mind-expanding adventure in The Expert System’s Brother.
After an unfortunate accident, Handry is excommunicated from his village. He's forced to wander a world he doesn’t understand, searching for meaning. But can an unlikely saviour provide the answers to the questions he barely comprehends?
Hendry soon finds himself traveling outlying settlements, guided by the Ancestors - who first settled the world from a distant planet. And as Hendry gathers an entourage of outcasts, he battles monsters and may even become a legend himself.
This wanderer also discovers that the life he thought he knew is far stranger than he could even possibly imagine.

Praise for this book
"A great coming-of-age story that careens through a world so vividly realized that you can feel each insect bite and taste every acrid berry. The Expert System's Brother gives you that visceral eek of satisfaction as its pieces come into view then fit together with exacting precision. It's a smart story, smartly told." - John Chu
"I loved it. A bold, vivid story about humanity and the broader universe. Should we mold the universe to suit us? Or should we mold ourselves to suit the universe? Adrian Tchaikovsky keeps these choices in tension, and kept me riveted to the page." - Ramez Naam
