Book Club: "Automatic Noodle"
Details
We're reading the cozy near-future sci-fi novella "Automatic Noodle" by Annalee Newitz. Finishing the book is encouraged but not required, as long as you don't mind overhearing spoilers.
Summary: While San Francisco rebuilds from the chaos of war, a group of food service bots in an abandoned ghost kitchen take over their own delivery app account. They rebrand as a neighborhood lunch spot and start producing some of the tastiest hand-pulled noodles in the city. But there’s just one problem. Someone―or something―is review bombing the restaurant’s feedback page with fake “bad service” reports. Can the bots find the culprit before their ratings plummet and destroy everything they created?

The venue: We are meeting for noodles (of course) at Doodle Noodle Bar's Fowler/USF location. They have stir fries, soups, vermicelli bowls, dumplings and more. See the menu here.
