Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries (a series of four novellas) was completed this year. It's about an AI which figures out how to break out of it's control module, and decides to not go on a stereotypical murderous rampage, and instead just do their job well enough that no one notices they're watching soap operas in their free time.
- bretthowell 8y ago+1 Existential, thought provoking, yet fast-paced and a over far too soon. A must read for anyone interested in contemplating a near future where all the power of our smartphones is in our head, always available. Yes it’s about AI, but the humanity of the bot makes it easy to see we don’t need artificial general intelligence to start seeing a universe like this one.
