so-so66/100 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 ⬇️
pickHilarious and informative. 6years old so probably outdated but a good overview of the difference technologies known collectively as AI. Surprisingly funny.
The importance of paying attention to what is happening behind our platforms ?

So well put!
pickWhat happens when one two detectives work together. One is human. The other is AI.
pickAn AI twist on Frankenstein.
Nothing prepared me for the final twist in this horror story.
so-soThis 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.
pickThis 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.
pickThis 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.
