My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is an enjoyable little novelette. It's a bit standard for a Hugo win, but it will contend. Highly humanized robots have always been a thing, and they definitely are this year (see All Systems Red and Fandom for Robots). Sometimes I think about wanting to see a story from a more uniquely "robotic" perspective, but then again, we are creating them so I guess it's a good bet that they will end up with our personalities.
