Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky was a fun and yet thoughtful read.

I am a big fan of non human characters, ever since I first encountered Mr. Data - and this book obviously has a ton of them!

The main character is a fancy valet, who goes on a quest to find new employment, after unintentionally killing his master. Only the world outside the manor is no longer as he expected, and finding humans to serve is quite the task, and an adventure.

Not that a robot would care for adventure, they just do as they are told, but what if there is no one to tell you?

I enjoyed this journey through a broken world, full of quirky and weird AIs, robots and accidental adventures.

While it is funny and entertaining, it also has quite a bit of depth, wondering what being human actually means, and what it needs to be self aware and have consciousness. It also sheds a light on human society and how we tend to break things instead of making them better.

I really enjoyed the mix and will miss my time with Uncharles and The Wink!
