“We are all made up of smaller things connected to l larger things, and in the middle, we are we, us, I, me.”

Honestly, I only picked this up to meet my reading goal for the year. I was not expecting such a poignant meditation on human expansion into the universe and what is means to be human at all. I haven’t read a lot of AI/robot sci-fi but I can’t image there are many other examples of novellas that are as well done, and with such a short page length, as Slow Time Between the Stars.
