Challenging little read despite it being only a couple pages long. Dense with metaphor and very experimental with its form, so you’re not being handheld at all while reading. Read it in one sitting because I really couldn’t look away — so very obsessed with the tension between the humans and the humanoids, even more obsessed with the fact that the book never specifies who is who until the latter parts of the novel where each category separates because of the conflict. Outside of that, I also really appreciated the relationship explored between the employees (human or otherwise) and management. As the tension on the ship grows and the danger increases, management remains so cold and detached from the situation, only truly stepping in when the workflow is effected. This book offered up such an interesting look at the meaning of humanity, artificial intelligence, and the inhumane nature of corporate management. Somehow, the corporate machine is less feeling than the robots under its employ.
