Slow Time Between the Stars | John Scalzi

2 posts | 4 read | 1 reading

An artificial intelligence on a star-spanning mission explores the farthest horizons of human potential—and its own purpose—in a mind-bending short story by New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi.
Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.
John Scalzi’s Slow Time Between the Stars is part of The Far Reaches, a collection of science-fiction stories that stretch the imagination and open the heart. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

Slow Time Between the Stars | John Scalzi

so-so

This short story by this month‘s #AuthorAMonth is available for free on Amazon/Kindle. A quick read - not sure how much of a tone it sets regarding Scalzi‘s writing, he‘s totally new to me. Sci-fi and a bit dry for my taste. Expands on the concept of AI that feels believable & vaguely upsetting.

Texreader He‘s got so many great and fun books. I haven‘t read this one but I recommend reading more (like Starter Villain) to see what you think. I read Constituent Services about a week ago and loved it 6d

Melismatic @Texreader Starter Villain is my main pick for the month! I‘ll probably start it tomorrow. 💖 6d

A pleasant imagining and plausible logic make this a fascinating read. Love the twists of awareness that the AI has, and how Scalzi plays with our human centric point of view.
