Ahoy there me mateys! Sign me up for snarky AI.  Scorn reboots, after having zir chassis destroyed on the moon, only to find ze is missing 10 days and has no idea why ze was on the moon in the first place.  Ze knows that ze was investigating a news story but has to backtrack to find out what and why.

I enjoyed Scorn and zir distain for humans.  I loved the world building showcasing what a future Earth run by corporations looks like and how technology is used in society.  It was nice that humans were not the focus.  The interactions between the various non-humans were the highlight for me.  I loved the weather station, MATt.

I did not particularly find the "murder" mystery to be interesting though I enjoyed watching Scorn work.  The other theme of how Scorn dealt with his mothers was also not really to me taste.  I did end up loving Scorn even if the plot in general was just okay.  This is the second novella I have read by the author and I am looking forward to reading more by her.  Arrr!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for me review.
