Better than the first one in the Wayfarer series

5 stars

This is a relatively short book using two narrative threads focused on how interactions of humans with self-aware artificial intelligence systems could look like in a very distant future. While the first Wayfarer story introduced well the universe and alien species, this second book has a better pace and was more enjoyable overall. Still, it is probably better to read them in order.

This book was surprisingly different from the first one, but I loved it nonetheless. Interesting structure with two parallel stories told in alternating chapters. Could not put it down once I got past the halfway point.
