- Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross
- The Stone Canal by Ken McLeod
Quick re-reads of two novels by Scottish-based authors, dealing with similar themes - artificial intelligence, and what it means to be sentient and free.
- Zoé’s Tale by John Scalzi
- Bedlam by Christopher Brookmyre
I borrowed these at the Halmstad library. Zoé’s Tale is written as a YA novel and it shows, but Scalzi’s trademark humour and the weirdly dark space opera universe it’s set in carries it.
Bedlam is a fun romp where the protagonist is trapped in a computer game. It’s better than it sounds!
