I met Adeena two years ago at Balticon. She gave an interesting talk on “Space Junk”. At the end she quickly promoted her books and I took note. I first read her “Crazy Robots” series, which had some interesting concepts in it. Lunar Logic is a standalone story, and I just got around to reading it.
I felt that the story started slowly, and the robots all being named “Ai-something” was cumbersome to the reader, but it makes sense within the world she’s created. The book really took off after the initial world-setting and groundwork laid, becoming more readable and with a bit more action.
It’s a very timely book with ‘AI this’ and ‘AI that’ all in our news and science speculation. This book is the best kind of “speculative fiction”.
I recommend Adeena’s work. I have been getting her newsletter this year and she’s been writing some ‘flash fiction’ that I hope gets developed into full stories.
