A review by inkynavi
The Expert System's Brother by Adrian Tchaikovsky
3.25
This book explored the "ancient advanced civilization" trope like Elder Race, but focused in on how the changes made for humanity to thrive were in fact the only way they could survive.
One of the themes of this story was how easy it is to radicalize people who are outcast from society for one reason or another. I think in today's society, understanding how this works is even more important.
It tackled quite a bit in such a short story, and I think this book did a good job of balancing its ideas.
I did end up liking Elder Race better, hence the rating. I'm still planning on reading the second book in this series though, so maybe that will affect my impression afterwards.
