This was a very enjoyable novella? Two hours -ish for the audio book.
Characters: Really only one. A bit know-it-all and snarky (no surprise that such a character is in a Scalzi novel).
Setting: Inside the “brain” of the one character or space.
Language: Very straightforward and easily understood.
Story: What happens when a mission to new habitable planets for humans goes rogue. Why did it go rogue. What is done instead. Very speculative and thoughtful, it is one possibility and I liked it.
This is such an interesting short story completely from the perspective of an AI. With so much talk about AI recently it gives me pause as to what it can evolve to and this story shows just that. If we give it too much autonomy who knows what can happen.
Like bobiverse, but without the humor or enjoyment. Bit of a slog and didn't actually go anywhere
