Elizabeth Dean

The plot was clunkier than the first two novellas but damn, still so good. Love this character and world of bots and AI and hybrids.

I want to save the memory of these words especially, and the gut punch plus tears plus pride I felt when I read them: “They made us into a race. We made ourselves into a people.”

I like this kind of story, even though there's a lot of silliness, and Robert Langdon is the most boring, pedantic thriller hero I've ever known.

This is a nice story, but it reads like an Oprah magazine article dragged out for too long. The more interesting parts covered their adult lives and their ‘regular' (non tragedy-related) interactions.
