Hi all. Up first for March is Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky. This book is noted for its humor, philosophical depth, and comparisons to Murderbot Diaries, as it follows a robot grappling with newfound autonomy in a society where humans have largely disappeared. The absurdity of bureaucracy through a satirical lens is pretty funny. I look forward to the meetings!
