This has taken me a while to read but man. This book is more modern and I'm not sure if that is the writer or the translator but there are a lot of situations that I have seen in modern books, cinema, etc., and that just shows how important this work is.

Relaxing with friends

Pretty much any Star Trek novel makes me feel this way and this is no different. And it was fun seeing other characters from other Star Trek shows.

Fun read as always.

I throughly enjoyed this book. At first I was wondering where the whole gig/bot economy was going and this definitely takes our current gig economy and traps the poor to middle class stuck in this economy and competing with bots for work.

The next big topic was Generalized AI which is never addressed directly but by the end you have the sense that the biological and not silicon can actually deliver the feared GAI.

The characters feel real and I felt everything that Olga goes through. I even was sufficiently pissed at her brother. But he even redeems himself of being an asshole.

The Buddhist elements I wish were more fleshed out and if the author ever revisits this universe maybe she will.

She's definitely an author I'd continue reading.

What can I say? effing John Scalzi can write about almost anything and make it interesting and fun. Kaiju is no different.

The story is a basic three act plot and pretty much all the bad guys are noticable even if they aren't your mustache twirling bad guys.

There is nothing new (save for how the Kaiju exist in an alternate dimension) and I didn't like how they connected our world Godzilla movies to this alternate universe. This is just a fun book with fun characters.
