More Murderbot – I just love this series of short novellas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This one has the main character heading back to save an old employer, and orchestrating a jailbreak from a huge space station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bringing back some of the characters from the first book was refreshing (although it has been a long time since I read that one). The plot here was a little less suspenseful and more focused on action, but it delivered plenty of that signature A.I. commentary coupled with sarcasm, antisocialism, and a growing sense of self-awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are just two books left in the series, and I suppose I\u2019ll get to finishing them off by the end of the year. Looking forward to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I\u2019m reading A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
