You know, for a campy sci-fi novel it sure is making me think a lot about deep theoretical topics such as the ethical use of AI and if said AI can develop enough self awareness and autonomy to be considered a sentient being with the rights and freedoms associated with such status.
If I had a nickel for every time a non-serious sci-fi novel made my head hurt because it made me think of deep and highly theoretical concepts regarding ethics, I'd have two nickels- which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.

I donāt understand why Dracula doesnāt just leave Lucy alone after everything Van Helsing did to keep him out.

I've noticed that this book here has been among the most discussed books today... Right next to a Dowry of Blood, which we all know is part of the autumn readalongšāāļø so I'm asking myself, how many of you here are reading this as a follow up to A Dowry of Blood? Is it worth it? What are your thoughts - should I give in and join the (suspected) Dracula craze, befitting the autumnal/spooky mood? š§āāļøšš

Probably the most unspeakably horny horror novel that I've ever read. I really liked the worldbuilding and how it felt simultaneously realistic and surreal. The characters were fascinating - we get so much insight into them and they're all totally unique. I wouldn't say that it's as frightening as some other works, but it will linger with you.

Honey as a religious sacrament is so so good. The role that bees and honey play in this book is one of my favorite aspects!

I am so obsessed with everything about this! The hype train did not lie - it really is Dracula by way of Murderbot, but describing it that way is almost reductive because Of Monsters and Mainframes is totally unique. First off, it contains the most relatable and realistic non-human protagonists I've encountered so far - it is always abundantly clear that Demeter and Seward aren't human, but that doesn't impede the reader from falling in love with them and caring deeply about their story. The humanoid characters are similarly well-rendered - I'm particularly fond of Agnus but they're all incredible. And there are a ton of little details that tickled me as a fan of horror classics like Dracula and Frankenstein.
