Finished A Psalm for the Wild-Built last night

It was quite good…the use of they/them pronouns sort of overwhelmed me a bit, but the use was consistent and persistent and I almost got used to it by the end of this very short book.

It examines many issues, consciousness, cognition, environment and more but it left me with no answer to how it was the robots became sentient or how it was ‘passed’ to ‘new robots.’ Perhaps those will be answered in the second book of the series but I doubt it based on the story/plot/etc.

Books that I read in 2021 - number 25:

This is a novella by the German female writer Christine Wunnicke. The title is: Nagasaki, ca 1642. In a very unique and exciting way, the text intertwines colonial history with a love story between cultures and times. It touched me very much and I can definitely recommend it.

It doesn't take a genius to know that some things are worth more than diamonds.

Graeme Pendlebury is a genius. Or at least his fellow fifth graders think so, and he’s in no rush to correct them. He dreams of enrolling at MIT and becoming a physicist. . .Until he goes there and finds a pencil case, with his name on it, full of diamonds. Things only get weirder for him after that.
