    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    In the adventurer’s paradise of Aotearoa (NZ), Stede Bonnet has dreamt of being a travel guide since he was a boy.

    Unfortunately, being the heir to coach tour company Bonnet Adventures means he’s doomed to a life behind a desk, planning experiences he’ll never have.

    Edward Teach is what they call a world-weary traveler. Having guided nature tours in some of the most extreme environments around the world, he’s seen and done it all – and he’s bored out of his skull.

    When Stede abandons his family to lead a trekking tour of the country, he quickly realizes that he’s in over his head, and looks to more experienced guide, Ed, for guidance.

    Facing high-maintenance travel bloggers, treacherous natural elements and the ever-present feeling that they’ll never be enough, Stede and Ed find new purpose - and each other - on the adventure of a lifetime.

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
    -----
    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?
