When thinking about Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice, the first thing that comes to my mind is gummy worms. Sour gummy worms, to be precise, are a very specific desire. When you want a sour gummy worm nothing else will do. Seriously, nothing else.
"Why I'm voting for Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice" by Justin Landon
#oh my god#this describes my experience with the book perfectly#the sour gummy worms are AIs#superhuman intelligence#lacking emotional knowledge#good at imitating humans#not good at being human#I want more more more AI PoVs about what makes them different from humans#what makes them weird#what makes them dangerous#a creation of humans#a child is never what the parents exactly wanted it to be#but it resembles them close enough and it's difficult to hate your mirror#unless humans are monsters and hate themselves more than anything in the world#Ancillary Justice
