A Closed and Common Orbit

This is a fun and easy read, as you might expect. What you might not expect is just how stealthily and heartwarmingly Becky Chambers brings her SF drama full circle. In this Wayfarer episode, she further explores human vs alien vs AI sentience and perceptions in a way that mimics ethical and moral struggles here on present day Earth. If you're in the mood for some top-notch, feel-good SF, then this is your ticket. Make sure to read "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" first, though.
