Book: Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Service Model"

 Book eleven for the year was Adrian Tcaikovky's "Service Model".  I've read a few of this author's books and I like his writing.  This book follows the adventures of an unemployed valet robot as it navigates the decline and destruction of the human race.

The cause of humanity's decline is left vague until the end, but it becomes obvious, as the valet robot goes from one job opportunity to the next, that humanity's destruction is self-inflicted.

The book flowed well and held my interest.  I could see how humanity's dependence on technology could eventually result in our demise.  The book is not uplifting but it was entertaining.

I gave the book four out of five stars on Goodreads.  I enjoyed its portrayal of our bleak future.

• Had a urology appointment this week.  Nothing new to report.  Will be getting an MRI and biopsy in the Spring.
• I watched season two of "Silo".  I like how it's going.  While we have a couple more weeks of Apple TV+ left, I'm kind of burnt out on streaming.  I have a couple things ("Invasion" and "Dark Matter") I could start but they will have to wait until the next time we subscribe.
• Weather, and a need for a short break, resulted in only two walks this week.  I did push those two walks to over eleven miles which I'm happy about.  My total distance this week was 22.6 miles (36.3 km).
