You know that thing when parents proudly tell everyone how their child said “mummy, the car is like a cake,” and expect people to be thrilled by it? Here’s my version of that. Training a bot is actually quite similar to raising a human being. So I’m testing Zdenko.

Is there sex in Vanja’s books?

There is, of course, but it all depends on which book you pick up!

In the books she writes under the pen name Jura Mikulchev, such as “Darker than the Void” or “The Treasure of Strange Gods”, there are quite a few explicit scenes, erotica, and juicy allusions. “Darker than the Void” is generally a pretty dark and dangerous biopunk universe with brutal action and more explicit content, while “The Treasure of Strange Gods” is more of a piss-take and comedy packed with risqué situations and sexual allusions.

On the other hand, in the stories and novels she publishes under her own name, Vanja Spirin, such as “The Heroic Adventures and Misadventures of Junkers and Valiant” or “Hangrap and Drobhila”, the humour can be raucously bawdy and straight-talking, but it all stays at a fun, provocative, and juicy level without crossing into outright pornography. And in novels like “Hidden Worlds,” the humour and the crude language stay at a friendly, relaxed level.

In short, if you’re after something more explicit, chase down Jura Mikulchev, and if you want juicy banter and laughs, Vanja won’t let you down! 🍺
