I met Adeena two years ago at Balticon. She gave an interesting talk on “Space Junk”.\u00a0 At the end she quickly promoted her books and I took note.\u00a0 I first read her “Crazy Robots” series, which had some interesting concepts in it.\u00a0 Lunar Logic<\/em> is a standalone story, and I just got around to reading it.<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0 The book really took off after the initial world-setting and groundwork laid, becoming more readable and with a bit more action.<\/p>\n It’s a very timely book with ‘AI this’ and ‘AI that’ all in our news and science speculation.\u00a0 This book is the best kind of “speculative fiction”.<\/p>\n I recommend Adeena’s work.\u00a0 I have been getting her newsletter this year and she’s been writing some ‘flash fiction’ that I hope gets developed into full stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I met Adeena two years ago at Balticon.
