My Thoughts

Although SERVICE MODEL was very slow and sometimes boring, I did like aspects of it. I thought the illogicalness of the robot’s logic was funny and I laughed out loud a few times. I also liked the message that if people with bad motives program robots / AI, then those robots / AI are going go about their programming in a way that’s not helpful to society. I think this message is really important in today’s world because of the reliance we’re starting to put on AI chatbots. Machines cannot act outside their programming. They’re black and white and cannot exist in the gray like humans can, and that absolutism will mostly likely result in chaos and destruction.

My Thoughts

I love, love, loved PROJECT HAIL MARY! The story was fascinating, suspenseful, thought-provoking, and gave me all the feels. It’s also very readable. I was completely hooked as soon as I started reading and I’ll be thinking about this one for a very long time. I loved both Grace and Rocky so much, especially Rocky. I loved their relationship, how they learned to communicate with each other, and how deep their friendship became. The audiobook was definitely the way to read this because of how Rocky communicates. It just made it so much more fun to listen to. I’m so glad I decided to read this before the movie comes out next year.

My Thoughts

THE SIRENS OF TITAN is so different from most books I’ve read. It was mildly entertaining with interesting views on free will, fatalism, and manipulation. I liked that the story made me think and challenge my own views and beliefs regarding the universe, God, and people. However, I’m not really a huge fan of satire and that aspect hindered my enjoyment of the story. I’m glad I read this book at least once, but I’ll never read it again and I’m glad it’s over.

My Thoughts

Despite being disappointed that THE MEMO isn’t a romance (the audiobook was categorized improperly at my library), I thought this story and the execution were interesting. I also like the hopeful and open ending. The story reminded me of THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, just much less profound.
