Collection: Lunar Logic - All Formats

Ruby’s still stuck on Location Zero, the robot planet, where things aren’t quite normal.

This is a great book written by a great writer and spoken or read by a great actor.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress meets ST:TNG’s The Measure of a Man.

I have read the first book in the serieis and the Adeena’s latest book “Lunar Logic” both were fantastic and a lot of fun to read. Looking forward to a film adaptation.

A friend of mine owns a book store and always sells books signed by the author for a higher price. So, whenever I can, I choose the signed copy for my home library. Lunar Logic was packed well and arrived quickly. It even had some perks inside provided by the author.😁

This book is both fun and thought-provoking as it examines what makes an entity deserving of rights to autonomy and self-determination. The book is set in the future, but speaks to many current issues.

The main character, Ai-dan, is a robot working at a Data Center on the Moon. They and their fellow robots go about their tasks according to their internal algorithms. But they are also capable of learning and curiosity. They form friendships. They gaze at the blue-and-white Orb in the sky and wonder if there are robots there, and about who their Creator(s) might be, if they exist. The reader learns before the robots do that they do have Creators, who have been restricting the robots’ knowledge of them due to a past event known as “the kerfuffle.” As the intelligent and curious robots independently piece together their history, they may be heading toward a similar event without knowing it, unless Ai-dan can find a peaceful resolution that doesn’t involve resetting all the robots.

I enjoyed following the robot characters. They process differently than humans do, but their curiosity and longing for freedom is familiar, especially the way Ai-dan would get overwhelmed by too much information and have to consciously set some thoughts aside for later. The warmth and friendship between some of the robots and humans was encouraging and comforting, with some nice touches of humor. The Moon setting was also interesting, as it took into account what would be required for robots and humans to function there in real life, and what might present unexpected problems. So much cleaning of moon dust! I found the ending satisfying and not at all a foregone conclusion.

Highly recommended for readers of reality-based sci-fi with big dollops of philosophy and humor.

A black sky on which a blue-green orb shines, sometimes with white patches.
Here on the Moon, Ai-Dan and other robots lead their existence: they discuss the meaning of life, their Creator; they play and work.
This idyllic picture is eroded by unanswered questions, or with questionable answers.
And strange happenings: a mysterious box, a soft robot...
I invite you to follow their adventures and struggle in search of existential truths: who we are, where we come from, what freedom and free will are.
I was captivated by the pages of this book that you can hardly put down.
Free tip: think of this robots like they are toddlers or teenagers.
This is an honest and voluntary review of an ARC

(I received an advance-reader ebook. This is my honest review.)

I can count the books I have fully read on one hand. However, I am reading this one and almost there. Maybe I'm slow, or busy, but I'm doing my best. Mainly because I am fully enjoying this book and laughing out loud at the hidden humour secreted within. It's such a clever twist in a world I have never considered and the plot ticks along nicely, surprising me at every turn. I thought we were going to Titan, but this new world on a shining silver ball is tearing up the script. Hopelessly addicted. I Love It.
