June is Heroic Robots/AI Group Read Month.


Here are some other things to consider when you make your nomination:


1. One nomination per group member. The books must be nominated with a Goodreads link by clicking on 'add book/author'. If a book does not have a Goodreads link, it will not be added to the poll.
2. Books need to be readily available, ie, in print (able to buy new or in ebook format).
3. Books should have some degree of action/adventure content.
4. Past group reads are not eligible to be nominated again. The past group discussions remain open for members to comment. You can view the list of past reads here:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

5. Books must be either standalone or first in a series (or they may be later in a series if constructed to be read as a standalone).
6. Authors are asked not to nominate their own books or solicit nominations from members.

The poll will go up on May 27th.

The first book I thought about was All Systems Red. I will comment that it is a novella, so maybe we could read the first two together. The second book is Artificial Condition, if that's okay?

Richard Handy (richarddhandy) | 14 comments Robopocalypse by Daniel Wilson? Haven't read it, but its been around for a while, not a new release. but a bestseller.

Phillip Murrell | 100 comments What popped into my head first were the two already mentioned, All Systems Red and Robocalypse.

However, I've wanted to read Sea of Rust for a long time, so it's my nomination.

Please post a Goodreads link. Thank you!

Jim (jimmaclachlan) I'll nominate Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky, if it's allowed. They're a bit more biological than Murderbot, but something similar.

I've read the entire Murderbot series & wouldn't mind rereading it. I've also read "Robocalypse" & liked it, but I didn't read the sequel.


Icy-Cobwebs-In-Space  (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 5 comments I nominate A.I. Apocalypse, first in a series, and second Robocalypse

I'm still seeing a lot of people who aren't using Goodreads links. Please, use a link. It makes it so much easier for me as a the group read coordinator if I can click on the link and make sure the book is eligible for the poll.

The poll is up. It closes at 11:59 pm PST on May 31st.

I could only add All Systems Red, but if it wins, we'll also read Artificial Condition since they are both novellas under 200 pages.
