Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
2.0
dark tense slow-paced

I read this for my AI class and wasn't a fan. The concept seemed interesting enough but I didn't like the execution of it. I usually love unlikeable main characters, but Jack was pretty annoying at times, especially with how self-righteous she is. The entire "slave" storyline with Threezed was just a mess. It was used as a joke/comic relief for a lot of the novel and I hate that. Why are so many white sci-fi authors obsessed with slave narratives?

I will say that I liked the bot characters more than the humans ones. Paladin was really interesting and any scene Med was in become a lot more bearable.
