Annalee Newitz is a favorite author of mine - I have enjoyed both her fiction and nonfiction in the past, and I also enjoy her podcast with Charlie Jane Anders.
After the masterful job she did creating the robot protagonist Paladin in her debut novel Autonomous, I was very excited to see what she would do in her newest book, Automatic Noodle, and I was pleased when I received a copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not disappointed!
This is a near future story about a group of robots that just want to open up a restaurant together. I wished the book had been longer because the ending felt a tad too abrupt, but I often feel that way with novellas. Although the plot isn’t particularly wild or groundbreaking, this story is rich and full of heart and I enjoyed every moment of it.
