review 1: This is a police procedural that features two partners: human detective Scott Huang and his artificial intelligence partner, Metta, whose default persona is Mae West. When Metta’s chassis is stolen, Metta is restored from backup to a new chassis and the duo soon connects the crime to a larger conspiracy. I liked this novella a lot. The characters were well-rounded, with clear personalities. The mystery was satisfactorily resolved, although there was a bit of luck involved. The world was consistent and easily pictured. I could see this expanded into a novel; I definitely hope Kowal writes more about this future society.
review 2: This was a fun detective story that reminded me so much of Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov. It's a futuristic crime/thriller that pa
... moreirs a human and robot as they try to uncover who murdered a prominent citizen.I liked the personalities that appeared in the story and I liked the couple of plot twists that were thrown in. I think it would have been better if the end of the story didn't unfold in just a few pages. I don't like endings that drag out, but this one could have been filled in a little more.The author explores the idea of humans depending too much on computers. I think this was handled pretty well. This could have easily been written as a full novel to further explore those details, flesh the characters out even more, and detail the action a little better. less
