I like this book, but I didn’t have as much action as the first one. I did really like the exploration of how the bot thinks about themselves in terms of being human, artificial intelligence, being an object and a tool versus its own entity.

this second novella reads a bit like a side-story. Plot-wise it was very thin. I’ve got the feeling this series would be better suited to be read as a novel.
