Machine

Take a break from dystopia with this brilliant, complex thriller. Set on a far-future intergalactic hospital where doctors and nurses of all sentient species work together to promote the collective health of all the universe's people, MACHINE offers a hopeful outlook for humanity. Main character Dr. Brookllyn Jens, a space EMT, believes wholeheartedly in the hospital's mission, so when mysterious AI glitches and bizarre cryochambers start piling up, her worldview is thrown a bit out of orbit. A delicious mix of hard sci-fi, medical drama, and thoughtful meditations on selflessness & purpose.
