From New York Times best-selling authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes an Illuminae prequel novella that gives listeners a hair-raising glimpse into the calamity that befell the invincible AI system known as AIDAN - and the daring young programmer who would risk her life to keep it from crashing.Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff – unlikely, but if you haven’t already read the rest of the series, drop whatever you’re doing, and go read it!.I’m so glad I finally had the chance to read it. I laughed, I cried, and I felt all the feelings that the rest of the series made me feel. I’ve already read the rest of the series but I can easily see reading this first and then the other three novels.įor a rather short novella, this one packed quite a punch. The writing style and concept behind this series is so interesting and unique. Kokeile Nextorya 30 piv tysin ilmaiseksi. I would love to see more novels and novellas set in this universe.

The Trolley Problem is one of many moral dilemmas faced by the characters.

Let’s be honest, there are some heavy and dark concepts in the rest of the series. No spoilers but I really enjoyed the cameos of characters and places that are featured in the rest of the series. Bringing other characters full circle.Also, I just loved the new characters for this novella. AIDAN is such an interesting concept and I was so fascinated to learn more about how he studied humans and learned the concepts he references in the rest of the series. I’m utterly and hopelessly obsessed with The Illuminae Files so when I saw that Memento was finally going to be available, I knew I had to read it immediately. But in the chaotic weeks and months that followed, it became clear that something was terribly, terribly wrong with AIDAN… The advanced AI system was supposed to protect a fleet of survivors who’d escaped the deadly attack on Kerenza IV.
