Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.0
adventurous funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Each chapter in Service Model is named after a famous author spelt in a robot-style code, eg:
 
KR15-T → Christie (Agatha) – murder mystery
K4FK-R → Kafka – bureaucratic absurdity
A4W-L → Orwell – dystopian control
B0RH-5 → Borges – labyrinthine knowledge and metafiction
D4NT-A → Dante – journey through hell and divine confrontation.

The story shifts style to match each author, so you get murder mystery vibes, bureaucratic chaos, or dystopian weirdness depending on the chapter. It’s a funny, thoughtful way to follow a confused robot through a broken world.
