"Praise for Emergent Properties ""A thoroughly delightful read, featuring complex and chewy family dynamics and a snarky AI sleuth. If you're missing your Murderbot fix, Emergent Properties is a worthy successor.""--Sarah Pinsker, Nebula Award-winning author of A Song for a New Day ""Pin-sharp, effortlessly brilliant, and endlessly engaging, Emergent Properties manages the impossible task of satisfying readers on the hunt for hard sci-fi, twisty mysteries, and deep relationships. It truly does it all. And Scorn zirself is one of the most absorbing characters I've ever encountered in science fiction.""--Premee Mohamed, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning author of And What Can We Offer You Tonight ""Aimee Ogden and Scorn take us on a mind-expanding journey that explores the limits of intelligence and emotion. A compassionate, funny, relentless search for answers that raises many deep, beautiful questions.""--Samit Basu, author of The City Inside ""A twisty mystery that doubles as a potent, surprising, and necessary exploration of the many issues that arise from AI's ever-increasing presence in the world.""--Publishers Weekly, starred review ""A taut and compelling mystery with a surprising yet satisfying conclusion.

At once a fairy-tale retelling and a lyrical space opera, it straddles many genres to tell one nostalgic yet utterly new story.""--Booklist ""Poetic, emotional prose and a science fiction setting give an original twist to an old fairy tale. Ogden [...] takes ""The Little Mermaid"" to outer space and imagines the desires beyond love and land. This novella will tug at the heart of every reader.""--Library Journal ""This novella will leave readers eager for more from Ogden.""--Shelf Awareness"
