I can't say I enjoyed this, but it is definitely well written. It's also kind of hard to enjoy a book with a piece of shit main character.

Equal parts harrowing and hopeful, this is the kind of speculative fiction we need when talking about the climate crisis. While it has a few warts, such as the author's clear infatuation with blockchain, those warts don't diminish the overall quality of the work.

This is legitimately one of my favorite books. Also one of the most terrifying things I've ever read. The exploration into the nature of consciousness and what it means when weighed against intelligence can easily send you into an existential spiral.

I have read it multiple times.

An excellent follow up to Hench, this isn't quite the book I expected, nor does it move in predictable directions. Either way, it's an excellent follow up that sticks the landing, even if it does leave you pining for a sequel.

As much as I enjoyed The Expanse, this set of short stories offer little to expand on the universe, with most of the stories feeling either trite or facile in nature. About the only reason to read this would be to find a bit of backstory about Amos, but otherwise the stories lean into tiny individual stories that don't offer much of value if you were hoping to read more stories that felt like part of The Expanse.
