Lovelace was once merely a ship's artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She's never felt so alone.

But she's not alone, not really. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.

Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it's anything but empty.

reviewed Una órbita cerrada y compartida by Becky Chambers (Wayfarers #2)

Pequeño bajón

Sin llegar a poder decir que me haya decepcionado sí que me he encontrado aquí a una Chambers que se aleja de la estructura que más me gustaba de sus obras: un grupo de gente encerrada en un espacio constreñido donde las relaciones entre los personajes es lo más importante. Aquí ya no hay un único escenario ni un único grupo y eso ha provocado que el interés que despertó en mí este libro haya sido menor que con los anteriores. Aún así sigue teniendo ideas muy buenas y leerlo te deja un poso de optimismo que nunca viene mal.

Review of 'A Closed and Common Orbit' on 'Goodreads'

This book is not about whether (g)AI could be people. It is about how does it feel when someone doesn't see personhood in you or in someone you love.

Review of 'A Closed and Common Orbit' on 'Goodreads'

A wonderful sequel

This book went an entirely different direction from the first in the series, yet it was just as enjoyable. My favorite part of the book was the structure in which the two stories were told in parallel, coming together into a great finish. Can't wait for the third one!
