  2. This is a wonderful book, but it is 1/2 social commentary-satire, so not #AdrianTchaikovsky #ChildrenofTime masterpiece quality.

    The flippant summary is #Kryten unwillingly saves the world from robot revolt.

    The book is amalgam of every good #scifi trope you've ever seen before. His view of how AI works was influenced by #YouLookLikeAThingAndILoveYou and despite this appears to be unaware with how LLMs work. This novel is a world where LLMs never happened.

    I'm also Extremely Into #ScienceFiction #SciFi #HardSciFi #HardScienceFiction #Books

    During lockdown I rediscovered my love of reading - fortunately stumbling across #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar, which I loved and reminded a bit me of the #JoeHaldeman #ForeverWar series. Which led me to the #Bobiverse books by #DennisETaylor which I LOVED. I'm looking for suggestions. Currently on #TermsOfEnlistment by #MarkoKloos & enjoying so far. I like #AndyWeir, #PoulAnderson and I'll always read anything in the #Dune universe. Really liked #ChildrenOfTime, #ChildrenOfRuin & #DogsOfWar / #BearHead by #AdrianTchaikovsky. Enjoyed #TheThreeBodyProblem, but The Dark Forest has left me in the weeds a bit (will return for another go at some point). Genuinely looking for suggestions!
