Catherine McCarthyFun book! And the first book I've read that mentions Mastodon in the Acknowledgements:
"My late-night friends on Mastodon offered a lot of great ideas about what kind of personality a self-executing contract would have."
profbib@annaleen Took a break from rereading texts I’m using in my classes this semester to enjoy a few hours with the robots (and Robles) at #automaticnoodle What a lovely novella: It conjured up so many fun memories of all the #thirdspaces I’ve enjoyed over the years. Thank you for sharing their story with the world.

Riikka📖 Annalee Newitz: Automatic Noodle
I rarely manage to actually read new books - it's quite usual that I'm at least a year behind, catching up on some award season books. This was an exception. I heard @jsnell recommend Automatic Noodle during the most recent @incomparable book club episode and just went and got it straight away. And I'm really glad I did as it was excellent!
Four robots are rebooted in a flooding restaurant that used to be their workplace but has been abandoned by the shady owners. They decide to take over the running of the restaurant themselves and start to serve proper food instead of the crap they were forced to do before.
This is the simplistic, surface level description of the book, but it's also so much more than that. It is a story about a post war world, trauma, love, independence, and survival. And it's very much a book about prejudice and who gets to be considered an individual with rights.
An absolutely fantastic read! Jason mentioned this in the podcast by saying this might be an award shortlisted book next year, and I definitely hope he is right. It would definitely deserve it.
