Gender-Swapping Sci-Fi With 'Ancillary Justice' Author Ann Leckie

The award-winning sci-fi novelist's new book 'Provenance' is due out September 26. A far-flung space empire on the verge of internal collapse? Check. A multi-body artificial intelligence that calls all people "she"? Si. Tea? Of course. These are just some of the aspects of sci-fi author Ann Leckie's award-winning Imperial Radch book series, which started with her debut novel Ancillary Justice in 2013. Ahead of her new book Provenance, which will be available on September 26, Leckie stopped by the Motherboard HQ in Brooklyn to discuss the series with us for a Facebook Live video broadcast and a new episode of Radio Motherboard, which we're premiering today.
