Mal Goes to War | Edward Ashton

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

The humans are fighting again. Go figure. As a free A.I., Mal finds the war between the modded and augmented Federals and the puritanical Humanists about as interesting as a battle between rival anthills. He’s not above scouting the battlefield for salvage, though, and when the Humanists abruptly cut off access to infospace he finds himself trapped in the body of a cyborg mercenary, and responsible for the safety of the modded girl she died protecting. A dark comedy wrapped in a techno thriller’s skin, Mal Goes to War provides a satirical take on war, artificial intelligence, and what it really means to be human.

I love this author‘s sci fi books that always include where AI is going and what can be. Mal is an AI that can jump from person to drone to augmented being. In a future war where humans are fighting against the AI enhanced things, Mal leads his new friends to their new way of life. Great characters. Fast fun read that once again makes you think where we may be heading with artificial intelligence. āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸

Different than other AI stories I‘ve read, the humor reminded me of Andy Weir. I‘m not sure exactly what the plot was (it‘s definitely character driven), maybe Mal discovering AI‘s version of humanity as humans lost theirs? However, I found Mal‘s dry wit & inner thoughts humorous & his literal interpretation & logic amusing as well. There were moments that make you think but for the most part this is lighthearted considering it happens during war.
