The Secret Life of Bots by Suzanne Palmer

funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

An incredibly fun story about obsolescence and improvisation, set in a far future where Earth is threatened by an alien weapon and have a very slim chance of saving the planet. There’s so much fun interplay between the humans, the junked/mothballed spaceship, and the maintenance bots trying to repair and keep the ship intact long enough to perform its mission. The plot may not be the most original, but its these characters, especially the lead bot, that charms the reader and makes this a wonderfully enjoyable experience.
