Cyborgs and Identity
Ages ago I read the Brainship series by Anne McCaffrey and would often daydream myself into the role of a brainship. More recently there are the Imperial Radch books, with their AI-ships and ancillaries. And ART and Murderbot came along as well. Each of these stories has a slightly different take, but all of them contain enough similarities that they resonate with me in the same ways.
Reading I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter reminds me of that same feeling.
I'm sure there are other stories like these, but these are the ones that I can recall. Do any of y'all know of similar types of stories that you enjoyed?
Oh! Also, Destination: Void (and sequels) by Frank Herbert.
