This book follows two perspectives in two different timelines and I honestly couldn’t tell you which one I liked better because they are both so amazing and offer such interesting glimpses into Becky Chambers’ universe. Not does her programming make it impossible for her to lie – which is unfortunate when you’re residing in a body kit quite illegally – but she also has to learn how to navigate the world from this new vantage point. With the help of brilliant engineer Pepper, Lovelace now finds herself in such a body (not really human, but close enough) and has to accomodate to this new life she has entered. She knows she is an AI, she was built to be a ship’s computer, and that her previous version wanted to live in a human body. When Lovelace was put into a body kit at the end of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, she lost all memories of who she was before. Clarke Award.Ī Closed and Common Orbit is the stand-alone sequel to The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and is perfect for fans of Firefly, Joss Whedon, Mass Effect and Star Wars. The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet introduced readers to the incredible imagination of Becky Chambers and has been nominated for any number of awards and accolades, including the Baileys Prize for Women’s Fiction, the Tiptree Award, the Kitschies Golden Tentacle and the Arthur C. Together, Pepper and Lovelace will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it’s anything but empty.
Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world.
She’s never felt so alone.īut she’s not alone, not really. 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. Lovelace was once merely a ship’s artificial intelligence. Opening line: Mimetic AI housing is banned in all GC territories, outposts, facilities, and vesels.
