This novella built like a volcano. It started off mildly interesting, with a super intelligent AI behaving in ways that were never expected. And I never expected the way that the novella ended. It was a rug pull of a story, wonderous in its messy complexity. For such a short piece, there was so much packed into this story and by the end of it I was listening with breathless anticipation for the disaster I was sure was incoming. If you like AIs and a building, chilling kind of horror, this is the perfect story for you.
