The Salvage Crew | Yudhanjaya Wijeratne

66/100 I admit I listened to this for Nathan Fillion, I like his voice and he does a fine job as narrator. A salvage crew land on a planet seeking an older starship that crashed there. At first it's pretty lightweight, funny with a sarcastic AI, done very well by Fillion, overseeing a 3 person crew. Things quickly turn darker, and it becomes a grim tale of survival as they discover and alien AI and the people its turned into half ⬇️

RamsFan1963 machine mercenaries. Since it's the first book in a trilogy or series, the ending is pretty open. 3.25/5 ⭐ #Read2025 6d

Hilarious and informative. 6years old so probably outdated but a good overview of the difference technologies known collectively as AI. Surprisingly funny.

A creepy but ultimately predictable AI horror. 3.5⭐️

The importance of paying attention to what is happening behind our platforms ?

So well put!

What happens when one two detectives work together. One is human. The other is AI.

An AI twist on Frankenstein.
Nothing prepared me for the final twist in this horror story.

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 2mo
Melismatic @Texreader Starter Villain is my main pick for the month! I‘ll probably start it tomorrow. 💖 2mo

This book is great! The world is a playground and we are all playing. The ocean, friendship, oceanography, AI…this book is so true and what a great cast of characters. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I‘m so pleased I finally loved a Pulitzer Prize winning book.😏😆 Social media and the internet and all that has changed for not only us but for the entire living world out there.

ImperfectCJ He actually won it for The Overstory, but if you're usually not a fan of authors who've won a Pulitzer, it's still notable. (I enjoyed The Overstory more than this one, although I liked this one a lot...mostly.) 2mo
Kboltz @ImperfectCJ Ok so the Overstory won but hey I read a book from a Pulitzer Prize winner! Thanks for clearing that up for me! If I was patient enough to look up past Pulitzer winners I would have saw that!😂😂😂😂. I have that book and was told to read it..on my TBR 2mo

This book was read for my book club. It's a decent book but I didn't love it. It's a lot of short stories, in my opinion. They were good but I'm not sure how they all connected except for the ocean.

Leniverse Yeah, I wasn't fond of that one. I could see how it was all connected, but I didn't like it 😒 2mo
