Welcome to Litsy!

I laughed so hard and loved the dialogue of the book … Steven Erikson just knows how to keep you engaged in his writing loved every sentence and his characters … you have the character names and just everything loved this

Really liked this short story collection of the evolution of robots. Copyright date of 1950! Whoa! So interesting how robots start off as companions and end up running the world. There‘s a reason these books are classics..they still have a lot to say.
Fun read all the way around.

I just love how Steven Erikson writes that humor and dialogue just makes the book so much better then just writing a storyline that works he always adds more human interaction love it

After successfully treating an alien whose aircraft had crashed on her planet, warrior surgeon Cha Thrat is invited to join Sector General - a space hospital treating scores of intelligent species with wildly differing physiologies and environmental requirements.

I always enjoy these novels, though I still think they read more like linked short stories rather than novels, and this one is interesting having an alien as the POV character.

@julesG described this as Becky Chambers‘ Wayfarer series crossed with Martha Wells‘ Murderbot and I think that‘s pretty apt. 🥰

It‘s a sci-fi quest sort of story, with very diverse characters. If you‘d like exposure to help you get used to all the pronouns, this book is for you!

I don‘t think it‘s a story that will stick with me, but very enjoyable while listening to it.

1st scene reminded me of the Red Dwarf episode when we meet Kryton. Charles is a rich man‘s robot valet.

Best library & robot librarians.

Charles is on a mission to find a new job. We walk with him & his sidekick through a world in crumbles. Humanity is dwindling.

There‘s pop culture & literary Easter eggs. LOVE a fun nerdy robot story with a moral & this didn‘t disappoint! The narration was great! (little too much religion for me)
