Okay. Wow. This was cool. Not exactly what I expected from the title, which skews a bit YA in my mind. It makes sense in the context of the story, but just threw me off balance.
Eastyn Ptolemy patrols Zaffre's space dock all night. Only occasionally passing the others on his crew, he finds the isolation overwhelming at times. Until he finds out about the Blue Station Zero, the radio station and then everything changes for him.
Whelp. Never made the connection between AI and the disembodied gaining form again with online interactions. Becoming friends or falling in love with people whom you've never met except through technology. Slow uptake for me, but a really AHA! moment as it crystallized.
Here Eastyn befriends Milo and it goes from there. Really sweet and lovely development, and covered a lot of ground for a novella. Where does machine end and entity begin?
Overall, sweet John Hugheseques romance on a remote space station.
Favorite quote:
"You know you can start over again too, right?" said Milo.
