Histoire
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; centuries since they wandered, en masse, into the wilderness, never to be seen again; centuries since they faded into myth and urban legend. One day, the life of a tea monk is upended by the arrival of a robot, there to honor the old promise of checking in. The robot cannot go back until the question of "what do people need?" is answered. But the answer to that question depends on who you ask, and how.

Histoire
"Mom seems off." Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone. She brushes the thought away as she climbs the front steps. Sam's excited for this rare extended visit, and looking forward to nights with just the two of them, drinking boxed wine, watching murder mystery shows, and guessing who the killer is long before the characters figure it out. But stepping inside, she quickly realizes home isn’t what it used to be.

Histoire
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Description
In the future, instead of terraforming planets to sustain human life, explorers of the galaxy transform themselves.
From the Sunday Times best-selling author.
At the turn of the 22nd century, scientists make a breakthrough in human spaceflight. Through a revolutionary method known as somaforming, astronauts can survive in hostile environments off Earth using synthetic biological supplementations. They can produce antifreeze in sub-zero temperatures, absorb radiation and convert it for food and conveniently adjust to the pull of different gravitational forces. With the fragility of the body no longer a limiting factor, human beings are at last able to explore neighbouring exoplanets long suspected to harbour life.
Ariadne is one such explorer. On a mission to ecologically survey four habitable worlds 15 light-years from Earth, she and her fellow crewmates sleep while in transit and wake each time with different features. But as they shift through both form and time, life back on Earth has also changed. Faced with the possibility of returning to a planet that has forgotten those who have left, Ariadne begins to chronicle the wonders and dangers of her journey, in the hope that someone back home might still be listening.

Deserved to win those awards!
This Award winning novella is a beautifully written and thought-provoking work that explores the human desire to explore and discover new worlds. What sets this book apart is the refreshing normalcy of the main characters, who are relatable and believable individuals rather than larger-than-life heroes. These scientist explorers change their body to suit the planet they are studying. The ending was unexpected.
Highly recommended

Could be a great Star Trek Episode
To Be Taught If Fourtunate by Becky Chambers
Is other worldly.
By now this must be my third or fourth book I’ve read of Chambers. And I only discovered this author this year! Like most of their books we are dropped into someone’s life and world without much backstory and we are just as easily taken out in the end.
Chambers has a wonderful way of just showing the reader ONE experience of someone’s life. It always takes place in a world which I would adore to experience, one better than ours today. One more awake to their realities, one that is sexually open, gender fluid, scientific but compassionate and just generally accepting.
In this story we go to the stars. And experience what it is like for a few to travel space and time to other planets and experience their life. And then something happens…
Honestly it was a great world building read. It’s a narrative mission report being sent back to earth. Which made it all the more interesting.
This book is for anyone who enjoys science fiction, LGBTQQIP2SAA reads. It's a very episode of Star Trek vibes, which is the highest compliment I can think of.

Really great
I really love how Becky Chamber's don't really have an antagonist or anything, their just kind of living their lives, there's hard times, and good, times, sad times, and happy times, you get to fall in love with the characters. You're not usually at the edge of your sit, at least not in this book, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a nice relaxing book, that you can listen to/read on a stormy day, and really feel like you're experiencing the character's emotions yourself.
The narrator is great too, really fits the characters and their emotions.

An author to watch for
Short and sweet (and deeply uncomfortable in places) this is just 5ish hours of Becky Chambers knocking it out of the park. Again.
Becky Chambers + Patricia Rodriguez is a combo at the top of the sci fi world for me. Definitely recommend, even if it is a bit short.

Easy to put down
A fascinating premise with interesting things to say about ethical exploration and potential life on other planets, but the novella largely felt more like a fictional treatise on those topics and less a story.

Could have been a novel but for an ending
I love Becky chambers books but I can’t help feeling that this one ended 50 pages too soon. Amazing world building.
