After a conversation with friends and listening to Ancillary Justice and Ancillary Sword for the past weeks on the way to work (and the Murderbot Diaries before that) - I think I've got how I want to do player character robots in Traveller.

I started #AncillaryJustice by #AnnLeckie because it was on a list of books that were said to be similar to #StarWars: #Andor. The resemblance is interesting.
In a space fairing collection of civilizations, the Radch rules as an empire...

Ann Leckie: Ancillary Justice
I tried reading it when it first came out and bounced of hard. 10 years later I finally finished and very much enjoyed it in the end. Modern space opera at its best 🚀🪐

Just finished Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice trilogy. Hugely enjoyable. Science fiction’s ability to present different possibilities is so welcome & her AIs are very much more nuanced than present debate would allow.
It is one of the reasons I love Iain M Banks’ Culture world - the AIs were the quirky stars of his novels!
PS please don’t @ me with a flood of techie detail!

Started to read Ancillary Mercy, but it’s been nearly three years since I read the first two, so have instead read from the beginning. Still as brilliant as the first time through.
Gotta love a February half-term for allowing uninterrupted reading time.

Just started reading the #AncillaryJustice series by @ann_leckie which blazes a new trail in the subgenre started by #MaryShelley with #frankenstein - the sympathetic yet also terrifying machine/cyborg/robot. I haven't been able to put it down

I finished reading #ancillaryjustice this week, my first read of 2023, the first in the Imperial Radch Series. Fantastic page turner with very interesting relationships and world building. The AI characters were very original and clever; Breq, the protagonist, is awesome. I am looking forward to finding out what happens next in the series! Language, citizen!
Just this minute finished #AncillaryJustice. What a marvelous book! Thrilled to learn there is a sequel.
Anybody else on here have to read #AncillaryJustice twice to really grok it? Man, this thing is deep.

@womanontherun I liked The City We Became, read it last year, though there were some things I thought could be improved so I'm really curious about The World We Make.
As for the current favourite #SciFi author, I'll say #AnnLeckie. I really enjoyed #AncillaryJustice.

It’s time for a proper #introduction.
I’m a #GeekDad with two boys.
I’m current serving military, but don’t know any secrets!
I got to infosec.exchange just ahead of the main wave.
Somehow, through some early conversations and comments I managed to #RedTeam my way onto some lists of ‘good people to follow’.
On Twitter I stood at the back of the room and looked to people like you for information and perspective. Now it seems I’ve moved further into the room and people are looking at me and it feels like I’m taking the class ‘Introduction to#ImposterSyndrome’.
While I don’t work in #InfoSec I do relate strongly to the community and learn from you all.
I know enough to know it’s always #DNS (or #BGP)
At home I run #pfSense, #HomeAssistant and feed #ADS-B data to #FlightAware and #FlightRadar24.
My favourite #TWIT episodes are when @MikeElgan and @jeffjarvis go head to head.

Ooooh, Ann Leckie has a new book coming out next year and it has a title!
Translation State

Its set in the the Imperial Radch universe, with a new slate of characters. I'm excited.
Honestly, I've liked books she's recommended better than her own, but I read them regardless. :D

I've been reading #AncillaryJustice by #AnnLeckie, and the first half of the book was a hike, but I'm really starting to get into it as the social and political intrigue is ramping up.
Today I got a copy of #juliemaroh's #skandalon. Between that and my #bruno reread and finally picking back up on @ann_leckie's #ancillaryjustice it's gonna be a good holiday break.
