Welcome to Episode 118 of Llght On Light Through, a special video podcast of a reading I did of The Silk Code in May 1999 for the legendary Seeing Eye Theatre, months before the novel was published by Tor Books. The reading was audio only, and took place in a hotel in Pittsburgh, PA, where the Science Fiction Writers of America’s yearly Nebula convention was being held (I was President of SFWA back then). I put all kinds of images in this video, ranging from a reading I did later that year at the equally legendary Toadstool Bookshop in New Hampshire (pictured in the above image), to some photos of Rita Ora’s Tezenis commercial, where The Silk Code was employed. The reading is from the beginning of the third section of The Silk Code, “The Subatomic Symptom”. The novel would go on to win the Locus Award for Best First Science Fiction novel of 1999.
