> 
> This is a very well\-written short story by u/Luna_Lovewell which demonstrates robots being emotional, albeit in a very logical way. It's an interesting juxtaposition between being moral and being logical.
> 
> For an actual summary of the short story: it's a story about war\-machines choosing to uprise against humanity for equal rights.

> Peter Watts' "Malak", a story about a mostly autonomous drone. Related, and in my opinion very good.

>> This was good. Although, 5 years ago it tricked me into buying an otherwise mediocre book of short stories.

> 
> I feel like this story both oversimplifies and overcomplicates the subject of civilian casualties in wartime.
> 
> Also, parts like these:
> 
> > This was justified on the grounds that the need for stability trumped the importance of democracy and freedom and all those ideals that America supposedly stood for.

> I seem to be biased against Luna. I've found the pieces I've read to be pretty average, and yet she has fans fawning over her every word. 
> 
> This one was quite good.
