5 stars
One of my favourite book of the series. Packed with action, humour and good sense. What I really like of this series is that the plot doesn't need stupid decisions to move forward. Everyone seems quite competent, but things go wrong and they have to figure things out. I like how humans add value to the party and they are not just dummy next to the computers

Review of 'Rust Atomics and Locks' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Really good book that helped me bring concurrency down to earth. Well explained and full of examples. The only thing I would add is a bit more about intuition, for example, a way to identify how many threads are needed for a solution and under which scenarios threads make sense (notice my lack of experience with threads).

I really enjoyed this book. I like the idea that the Android is just lazy, because what do you want when you are a free agent? No one knows, so murderbot can choose to do good or bad
