I’m normally a bit more of a hard scifi reader with the likes of Bobiverse and Expanse (and Andy Weir/Thaichovsky/IanMBanks/Herbert etc) but I really enjoyed this humerous take on a rogue cyborg.

Is there anything out there in this vane I should look into?

    Anne Leckie, every book. There’s something of Banks about her writing, the protagonist in the main 3 books used to be but one body out of thousands controlled by a ship mind, before finding its self isolated and for the first time, singular. I adore her quiet writing style, and weird was of thinking of things. The Translators in particular are not only some of my favourite characters in any book, they’re also a phenomenal literary device.

      I don’t know why I bother, but I help the former captain because I choose to…

      +1 to recommending Ann Leckie.
