The Expert System's Brother (Expert System, #1)The Expert System's Brother by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

More of a 3.5 for the rating, I'd just put this novella on the shelf that I'd name "a light-touch fish-out-of-water SF".

It's a voyage of self-discovery that reads like a fantasy novel even though there are some rather strong SFnal ties just below the surface that are pretty easy to follow as a reader, but not so much for the MC.

Honestly tho, I didn't really get into it all that much despite being an otherwise rabid fan of Tchaikovsky. Others might enjoy it more than I did.
