Hello. My first name is Roke, and I always shall, and have been since I gained my first computer, a software developer. I specialize in OS architectures and GUI consistency, accessibility, and ease of use.
I tend to utilize a combination of cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed and cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:40, with KDE Plasma 6 as my desktop environment. I utilize Tumbleweed when I need to install onto a 32-bit BIOS or UEFI, and Fedora otherwise. I'd like to utilize Tumbleweed for everything due to its exclusive inclusion of YaST. However, its bug reporting infrastructure is painful to utilize due its lack of GNOME Abrt support and ancient Bugzilla, in stark constrast to the opposite for Fedora.

SKYNET's (perspective is) back, baby! I couldn't be more thrilled.

I really thought that Dieter was more disposable than John's newfound girlfriend. However, I'm impressed by the author's ingenuity, and am somewhat relieved, despite how much I had begun to like her before her sudden termination.
Most impressively was how much less sapien Clea's psychology was. It indeed demonstrated how arrogant Serena was, despite how much further removed from humanity's her childhood was, in comparison to Clea's.
I never expected Clea to be an improvement, yet she is. In retrospect, her kind of pragmatism unencumbered by pride mirrors that which is sapiens are frequently forced to realise, despite how much we would quickly mimic Serena if able. Were we to meet, I believe that I would like her. I presume it wouldn't be reciprocated. 😬
Otherwise, all technical terminology remains hideously misutilised.

I'm impressed that Clea appears to be an improvement on Serena. I expected her to be more incompetent without her guidance during her infancy, but didn't expect her to possess Serena's memories.

The section with the aboriginals appeared unrealistic, in how tame they were to their captors, in how Dieter and John didn't kill their captors during their firefight, and most importantly, how the tribesmen had watched their chief be paraded as he was, without interfering.

I'll never get over Serena, but maybe Skynet shall return. A sapiens like myself can only hope.

My sole criticism is the strangely dreadful "hacking". Whoever wrote and/or advised on it does not understand even the basics of how a computer operates, which is strange for scientific fiction.

I am nigh distraught that Serena is dead. She was my favourite character: much of the reason I wanted to read the book. Without her and SkyNet, I feel as lost as she must have without SkyNet.
Sarah becomes more impressive each cycle. However, I'm rather depressed – as she is – that I've yet to experience Skynet's perspective since her arrival. I enjoyed being informed of how it perceived and decided its interactions with sapiens and I-950 alike.

I loved the perspectives of Skynet and Serena.
