Sea of Rust was something really really special and while Day Zero is good it isn't nearly as good. It follows a lot of Terminator type tropes and I often felt like Skynet was a character. Also just after reading Klara and the Sun, this was a lesser exposition of the AI in flux. All in all it seems this book fell in a time where others eclipse it some, but I love this universe and read it, enjoyed it, and look forward to much much more! Watching this author for sure.
