4/28/2020: (actually read 5/7, playing a little catch up). "Ahmaud Arbery Should Be Alive" by Jamil Smith. "Convicting his killers is the start. But the family of this modern lynching victim can’t have justice in a country with laws that protect white people who kill black people."
“Nothing that our legal system can do outpaces the efficiency of racism when it comes to delivering consequences.”
“Open-carry must be abolished. Stand-your-ground has to go. State codes that allow citizens to arrest people? Those are golden tickets for lynchings. They should be relics of an America that should embarrass us.”
Maybe my favorite so far...clever story about a small AI left on its own who bonds with a human and crows. Really embraces the centaur aspect of AI beyond just the human.

3/23/2020: The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek by Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal (Good Mythical Morning) - enjoyable A bit on the YA side with a weird ending, but the reading of it was enjoyable. A bit of a scooby doo vibe (which they reference in the book).
3/17/2020: The Causal Angel by Hannu Rajaniemi (book 3 of the Jean LeFlambeur series) - loved this series. Recommended by Dave. The science fiction is deep hard scifi, almost to the extent you have to reread parts of it to understand what you just read. But overall I loved it - very different.

3/11/2020: The God Game by Danny Tobey - my apologies to Mr. Tobey but I hated it. I read the whole thing, but the self interest and how it moved situationally for characters made me sort of dislike every single one of them. And the AI didn't seem very smart or God-ish at all.
