Andrew Kuchling<p>Time to post my opinions about the novels that were finalists for the Hugos this year!</p><p>In SERVICE MODEL, by Adrian Tchaikovsky, the valet robot Uncharles is responsible for laying out his owner's clothes every morning and helping with his morning ablutions... until one day when Uncharles cuts his owner's throat while shaving him. Uncharles doesn't remember the actual event, or why they did it. </p><p>The death brings a detective robot to the house, and after their ineffectual investigation is completed, Charles goes out to explore the world. It becomes clear that the system is crumbling: the detective talks for the sake of humans, even if there are no humans present; requests are put into queues that are not being processed; actions are repeated endlessly. I started to wonder, are there any humans left alive at all?</p><p>This book was hilarious, in a sardonic and cynical way. The humans built a system of convenience and automation that's smart, but not smart enough to be resilient or to understand its own mistakes. It's a perfect book for the AI-obsessed moment.</p><p>Not read by me: ALIEN CLAY, also by Adrian Tchaikovsky.</p><p>(1/5)</p><p><a href="https://dmv.community/tags/TheHugoAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheHugoAwards</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/AdrianTchaikovsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdrianTchaikovsky</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/ServiceModel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ServiceModel</span></a></p>

Zivan - Childless Cat Guy<p>I've finished: Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky</p><p> In Shroud, Tchaikovsky imagines evolution on a world where visible light is not available. </p><p>As a legally blind person I'm both disappointed and glad that this novel is not about blindness. I would have liked to see Tchaikovsky describe the challenges of dealing with blindness, but wouldn't have liked to see him fail at it, like too many other sighted authors. </p><p>This is a first contact story. Quite uniquely, establishing communication isn't the first priority. </p><p>It contrasts a human capitalist strip mining project with an alien intelligence that has it's own history, constraints and priorities. </p><p>But first of all, it is a trek across a dangerous alien environment and survival against the odds. </p><p><a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/3881cf9f-e318-4bf3-a7fe-496c3a56781d" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.thestorygraph.com/books/38</span><span class="invisible">81cf9f-e318-4bf3-a7fe-496c3a56781d</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/audiobooks" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>audiobooks</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/AdrianTchaikovsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdrianTchaikovsky</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/FirstContact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstContact</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Audiobooks</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
